After our Christmas Eve dinner at Daikokuya, we walked over to Mikawaya to get some Mochi ice cream for dessert. Mochi ice cream is a Japanese confection made from pulverized sticky rice for the soft dough like outer shell, with an ice cream filling. They come in a few different flavors; matcha (ground green tea), chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, pistachio, and mango. I tried a bite of everyone elses and the strawberry was my fave. The dough like outer mochi shell doesn't have that much flavor. I think its purpose is purely to house the yummy ice milk ice cream on the inside. They are a perfect size of sweet after a large meal. I must say, mochi was a delightful ending to our Japanese feast!
