Weary of the various gummy snacks and candies her children often asked for, Mika sought to create something different. The more she learned about gelatin (the foundation of most chewy snacks) and its origins (boiled animal skin/bones), the more she was convinced that there has to be better options – something that did not have excessive sugar, artificial flavors, and animal products.
This led Mika to explore the idea of mochi – a chewy Japanese cake – a treasured, ancient Japanese treat. Tweaking on the mochi idea, but innovating to come up with something completely new, Issei Mochi Gummies was born.
Picture this: soft, chewy, pillowy texture, somewhere between a gummy bear and a marshmallow – infused with natural flavors with zero gelatin, is Kosher, non-GMO.
Our dream is to create foods that spark joy for a happy life. Enjoy Mochi Gummies straight from the package, or pair them with ice cream, yogurt, oatmeal, puddings, or your favorite dessert.
Bright and subtly tart in flavor, these Yuzu Mochi Gummies will be sure to please! But what is Yuzu, you may ask? Yuzu, with its captivating fragrance and intricate blend of mandarin, grapefruit, and lemon undertones, has emerged as a favored citrus among top chefs worldwide, quickly ascending to the peak of culinary trends, despite its premium cost. Yuzu has a very special place in our hearts.
