| - I'm glad I stalk new business openings on Yelp. That led me here today. I was a tad confused, as I went through the J-Town by the Sea entrance, and the sushi place on the left was closed, and I thought Sasaki was as well, but it wasn't, so huzzah!
Got the sesame and the matcha daifukus ($2.50 each) to go. I wanted to try the chestnut one as well, but we'll save that for another day. We asked for them to go, and they were put in a small, plastic container with the Sasaki logo on it. Super cute. I felt like such a little kid holding that small plastic container walking back to the car. In a good way, though.
I did not, and probably will not, have the sesame. Saving it for my brother. My dad had the other half of it. He liked it. He said it was soft.
I had half of the matcha one though. It's ridiculously soft. I mean soft as in pillowy. Soft as in like a cloud. The matcha cream definitely had a dinstinct matcha taste, and worked incredibly well with the red bean inside.
Another review mentioned that this mochi is about two bites. My half a mochi was a pretty big bite. I mean, it fit in my mouth, but I probably should have bit it in half again so that I could savor it properly, instead of trying to down it in one mouthful.
At $2.50, I think it's justifiable as a special treat once in a while, but I doubt I'll make this part of my regular routine.
Hm...actually, I think these daifukus would make a good dinner party present for someone.
