(・ω・) This is Warabiya Honpo Fukushima Store. I chose it as a souvenir for my wife while on a business trip nearby. I've had warabi mochi before, so I wasn't expecting anything surprising, but when I tried it, it was soft and gooey... Oh? What's this? Anko (sweet bean paste)? Anko inside warabi mochi? Interesting idea. And it's delicious. It took me by surprise when I thought it was just regular warabi mochi. My wife also loved it. Thank you for the meal.

There is a popular shop near JR Osaka Loop Line Fukushima Station that specializes in warabi mochi, with about 10 chain stores. There are many warabi mochi specialty shops, but this shop's warabi mochi is my favorite. The "Torotoro Warabi Mochi with White Bean Paste (small)" for 540 yen is so delicious. The moment you try to pick it up with chopsticks, it melts and has a gooey texture that is truly drinkable warabi mochi. It is generously topped with kinako powder and is very tasty. I would love to go back and buy it again if I find it.

This is a mochi shop in Fukushima with a display case at the entrance showcasing a variety of mochi, all looking delicious. It's a takeout-only shop, so you can choose your favorite items to purchase and enjoy at home. It's a great idea to give these as gifts, as the recipients are sure to be delighted! This time, I chose the popular No. 1 warabi mochi and the No. 2 kinako mochi.

As it gets hotter, I crave "warabi mochi." I was drawn to the sign of "Warabiya Honpo" with its stretchy warabi mochi, so I went in. I bought plain warabi mochi and cream warabi mochi in a cup that looked like pudding. When you scoop up the soft warabi mochi in plenty of kinako powder, it feels like it might melt. It's delicious when eaten cold. There are various flavors of cream warabi mochi, and personally, I liked the "sesame cream" flavor. It seems like a nice gift to bring to someone during this time of year. Thank you for the meal.

I received this as a souvenir♪ There was so much kinako left over. It was a type of azuki, and it had tiny azuki beans in it, which gave it a unique texture. Unlike the usual warabi mochi, it was more like a "drinkable warabi mochi" with a smooth and sticky texture.

This is a famous shop in Fukushima that sells warabi mochi. I received their warabi mochi as a souvenir. The normal warabi mochi has red beans inside and is generously covered with kinako powder. The warabi mochi is very soft and melts in your mouth. It makes you feel happy and is really delicious. I also recently tried Angel's Warabi Mochi, which seems to be popular. I would like to buy it again. Check out snack_akemi's blog for more information. Blog page here ↓↓ http://ameblo.jp/snackakemi I also started Instagram, although I'm not familiar with it.

I purchased a new sweet from Osaka as a special event at Tokyo Metro Shin-Kiba Station, thinking it would be perfect for my family who loves warabi mochi and Western sweets. The Cream Warabi Mochi (360 yen) came with separate packets of kinako powder and a spoon. First, I opened the package and sprinkled about a third of the kinako powder. The combination of cream and kinako was nice. The warabi mochi was at the bottom of the container. The cream was smooth, but mixing the warabi mochi with kinako was honestly difficult. I wish they would provide a different container. The warabi mochi itself was not very authentic, more like a water-based mochi. The cream also seemed to be of low quality. Thank you for the meal.

On Saturday, I saw this place being introduced on TV and thought it might be similar to the Warabi Mochi I had tried and loved in Kyoto and Shiga a couple of times before. I arrived at 17:10 and there was already a line of about 15 people waiting outside the small shop. The shop only allows one group inside at a time for takeout sales. By the time I got there, they had already sold out of the products: White bean paste Warabi Mochi, Hojicha and Kinako Mochi in soy sauce dressing. I bought the Plain Warabi Mochi with red bean paste filling in medium size for 756 yen and the Hojicha Cream Warabi Mochi for 330 yen to take home. The Plain Warabi Mochi had to be consumed on the same day, so it had a really smooth and delicious texture! However, the sweetness was a bit too strong, probably because of the red bean paste mixed in. It's rare to have the texture of the beans mixed in, but it might be a bit distracting if you're looking for a completely smooth and sticky texture. The Kinako had a great flavor on its own, but I felt like it was too much to have it fill up the entire box, unless you plan on using it to mix with something else later. Considering the price, quality, and quantity, it was a tasty treat that I could understand the appeal of, but there was quite a difference between the items available for eating in and those for takeout. The Hojicha Cream Warabi Mochi came in a container shaped like a jar, with Warabi Mochi inside and Hojicha-flavored whipped cream on top. It also came with a small bag of Kinako. This Warabi Mochi had a slightly chewy texture since it was good for two days, and the sweetness was more subtle with the whipped cream, so I preferred the taste of this one. If the Plain Warabi Mochi had this level of sweetness and smoothness, I might have been totally hooked!

Today's dessert was the Warabimochi from Honpo, plain with red bean paste and sweetened with wasanbon sugar, and houjicha roasted green tea with kinako soybean flour. All varieties were available in the 6 o'clock hour! It used to be mitarashi flavor, but now it's kinako, which was a surprise. It had been a while since I had it, and it was so smooth and elegant with the wasanbon sugar. Thank you for the delicious meal!

~Pokémon Trainer Miyuki received 90 experience points!~ A new warabi mochi specialty store has opened about a 3-minute walk from JR Fukushima Station. Trainer Miyuki had always been curious about this new store that had opened on the site of a shop she used to frequent. She decided to visit for the first time when she was planning to visit a friend's house and was looking for a souvenir. The store, "Warabiya Honpo," has been popping up frequently in the Kansai area, so it seems to be quite popular. Miyuki has a sweet tooth and occasionally enjoys warabi mochi, so she was excited to see what a specialty store could offer. She decided to purchase a standard-sized pack that would be perfect as a gift. The packaging was clear and high-quality, and the price was reasonable at 540 yen (tax included). The catchphrase was "melt-in-your-mouth," so Miyuki imagined the softness as she took a big bite of the warabi mochi. She was amazed by the texture, which was ten times softer than she had imagined. It was the first time she had tasted mochi that could be enjoyed without chewing. The quality of the specialty store was evident. The fresh sensation in the texture enhanced the deliciousness. This warabi mochi is so surprising that it could become a topic of conversation when shared with friends or given as a gift. Be sure to try it out! ★If compared to a favorite Pokémon★ Mahoimi: A sweet treat with a "melting" texture and elegant sweetness. Once you experience it, you'll be hooked. ▽game8: Mahoimi https://game8.jp/pokemon-sword-shield/302641

I tried the limited-time offerings at a pop-up shop from November 24th. I wish I had gone earlier! I shared with a friend and we tried the Cream Warabi Mochi and Cream Warabi Mochi with Hojicha. Both were delicious, with the Hojicha flavor being my favorite. The Cream Warabi Mochi was light and the cream was not too sweet. Adding roasted soybean flour took it to another level. The Hojicha cream had a slight bitterness that I enjoyed. The Soy Milk Baum was also good, moist and not too sweet. Overall, a great experience!

I saw and bought it in the area near Fukushima Station. The most popular item seems to be the sticky warabi mochi, but they also have daifuku and mitarashi dango. If there was one nearby, I would likely visit frequently. The warabi mochi comes in plain, white bean paste, and wasanbon flavors. I chose the plain one. The size is small and costs 540 yen. As the name suggests, it melts in your mouth. It's so soft that it breaks easily when picked up with chopsticks. The sweetness of the red bean is also included, making it truly delicious. Although the size is small, there are 8 large pieces, so towards the end, the sweetness became a bit overwhelming when eating alone. Also, there was a considerable amount of soybean flour left over, so it felt like a waste to throw it away at the end.

Discovered a restaurant in Fukushima during its business hours! Wanted to buy and eat warabi mochi, but they only sold them in a minimum of one piece, so I had to give up on just the warabi mochi! Ended up buying a pie and a pudding-like item instead. They should sell them individually!

The Warabimochi Honpo Fukushima store near Fukushima Station seems to have its main store in Makuhari. There is always a long line, but today there was no line, so I decided to buy some. They have delicious Warabimochi, bottled Warabimochi, Kuzumanju, and Daifuku.

In recent years, I have developed a liking for warabi mochi and occasionally indulge in it. Lately, I have been purchasing it only from a specific shop, but a few times a year I try out different shops as well. This time, I tried a new shop. On the shop's signboard, it was written "Ultimate divine combination" and "Tear-jerking level of smoothness." This made me curious to try it. Apart from warabi mochi, the menu also includes daifuku mochi, mitarashi dango, pie, and cheesecake. The warabi mochi comes in two flavors - plain and white bean paste, in three sizes - large, medium, and small. I opted for the small size of plain warabi mochi for 540 yen. This plain warabi mochi has red beans kneaded into it. True to its claim, it was indeed very smooth. Trying out different variations of warabi mochi like this makes me excited for the new creations that may come in the future. Thank you for the meal.

Recently, I visited a new warabi mochi shop with a flashy sign. I decided to try their ice cream warabi mochi since the weather was nice. I had the option to choose from different ice cream flavors, but I went with the Hokkaido milk ice cream recommended by the staff. The warabi mochi was topped with kinako powder. It was indeed a gooey warabi mochi. While it was tasty, I couldn't help but wonder if just regular warabi mochi would have been better. The ice cream and warabi mochi seemed like separate entities. Overall, it was delicious, but I think it would have been better if they were kept separate. Thank you for the meal.

Today's dessert after the meal was the Warabiya Honpo Fukushima Store's "Torotoro Warabi Mochi" Plain (small) for ¥540 and "Torotoro Warabi Mochi" with white bean paste (small) for ¥540. This place just opened on 3/27 and the main store is located in Hirakata. Let me tell you, it's not just wobbly, it's super wobbly! And the addictive wobbly texture is just amazing. The kinako (roasted soybean flour) adds a wonderfully fragrant touch. The natural color is beautiful, and the flavor is incredible. The Plain version has red beans inside, adding a refined sweetness that melts in your mouth. The white bean paste version has the paste kneaded into the warabi mochi, giving a rich flavor when you chew. Both are delicious! The fragrant aroma of kinako, the super wobbly texture that can't be lifted with a toothpick, the refined sweetness when you take a bite - it's excellent! Thank you for the meal!

On March 27, 2020, I visited the area between Hotel Hanshin and the JR Loop Line viaduct, walking towards the Umeda Nishi 2 intersection, and found a new shop that opened on that day at the corner of the first traffic light where the pancake shop "gram Fukushima store" used to be. This new shop is called "Warabeya Honpo Fukushima store" and is known for its famous "torotoro warabi mochi", which is popular at various commercial facilities and events. When it comes to warabi mochi, I can't help but remember the one I had at "Tennoya" established in 1932 (now relocated to Azabu-Juban). Other famous places in Kansai include the warabi mochi at "Amida Ike Daikuro" which combines black warabi flour and fragrant black sesame powder, the warabi mochi at Shinano Bridge's "Takasagaya", the black warabi mochi using traditional Japanese sugar at Kurokado's "Mitoya", the award-winning warabi mochi at "Senjuan Yoshimune" (although the main store is in Nara), the recently popular "Namiyoshian" in Namba, and the traditional "Zaikyodo" in Oyodo-ku, founded in the first year of the Meiji era, which offers handmade warabi mochi. Personally, I also like the "Hon Warabi Mochi" from "Takaoka Fukushin". The lineup of Osaka-style warabi mochi from the up-and-coming "Warabeya Honpo" shop, which raided these long-established warabi mochi shops, is unique with a balance of ingredients and cooking methods that result in a "torotoro" texture that is so soft that a toothpick won't stick in it, unlike traditional warabi mochi. They have also developed a method that prevents the mochi from hardening even when stored in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, on the rainy opening day, when I passed by in the evening, there were already several people in line. When I joined the line, three more customers lined up behind me. The "torotoro warabi mochi" comes in plain and white bean paste flavors, with prices ranging from small = 540 yen, medium = 756 yen, to large = 1080 yen. They also offer "Salted Bean Daifuku" (162 yen), "Salted Cream Daifuku" (152 yen), and "Mitara Dango" (5 pieces in a box for 450 yen). I purchased the small "torotoro warabi mochi," "Black Sesame Cream Warabi Mochi," and "Black Bean Cheesecake." Since the expiration date was on that day, I thought I might have bought too much, but I couldn't resist choosing various delicious items. The "Black Sesame Cream Warabi Mochi" consists of slightly firm warabi mochi topped with plenty of black sesame cream, offering a subtly sweet taste that is addictive. The "Black Bean Cheesecake" has black beans kneaded into the dough, with a generous amount of vanilla cream, creating a moist cheesecake. Lastly, I tried the signature "torotoro warabi mochi" (plain). During the trial production, they accidentally achieved a "torotoro" state of the warabi mochi, which turned out to be the most delicious, prompting them to experiment with the balance of warabi flour, sugar, and water, as well as the cooking time to recreate it. By adding a little grainy bean paste, they enhanced the sweetness. It's better to think of it as a new type of warabi mochi rather than the traditional one, but it doesn't matter as long as it's delicious. You're sure to be charmed by the torotoro texture. #Fukushima #WarabiMochi #WarabeyaHonpo

Soft and melty, so good that you can't impress anyone with your chopstick skills. Eating it gives you a new texture experience. Whoever came up with this is a genius. It's a great souvenir gift, this warabi mochi. Adding value to the traditional warabi mochi. The cold, sweet, and delicious warabi mochi is a must-try. The frozen daifuku was also delicious once thawed. Thank you for the meal.

I received this as a souvenir! The soft and chewy warabi mochi was delicious!
