Yuzu: Bright and subtly tart in flavor, these Yuzu Mochi Gummies are unique. Yuzu is a unique citrus fruit from Japan with a strong, captivating fragrance and intricate blend of mandarin, grapefruit, and lemon undertones. Yuzu 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 since the eminent cradle of Yuzu is her mother’s homeland - Kochi, Japan. When crafting a yuzu flavor for our Issei Mochi Gummies, Mika approached the task with meticulous care, collaborating with flavor experts through numerous iterations to capture the true essence of the fruit.
An ancient Japanese snack, mochi has been in the food culture of Japan since 14,000-300 B.C. There are dozens of mochi varieties, and while many are made with pounded rice, many types of mochis are also made with different kinds of starches other than rice. Mochi is therefore defined more for its texture rather than for its ingredients. It is considered a sacred food for the gods, with people bringing neatly piled mounds of decorated mochis to shrines as offerings to the Shinto Gods for the New Year. It symbolized longevity, well-being and prosperity.
Today, it is a food for celebrations, gatherings and expressions of gratitude, bringing communities and families together.
