Chikara Mochi

Great handmade mochi. Unique selection and great flavors. Be sure to arrive early as they sell out fast. They are also cash only but it's worth it! I will definitely be visiting again earlier next time to see the full selection of sweets!

It's like a little Japan that got in LA. This mochi shop is authentic and has such exquisite mochi made by Japanese. It was sold out 3hrs when we bought the last few of it. We bought the assorted 12 pieces and it tasted just like Japan version.

Fantastic and authentic, fresh Japanese sweets maker! The mitarashi dango and various mochi treats taste like I am in Japan. Excellent, clearly homemade red bean paste an is just the best. Cash only.

BEST wagashi in the West Coast indeed! I waited to try the other wagashi place we found in the Sacramento area before reviewing this place and therefore we conclude, they have the best mochis! Staff is super friendly and kind would really love to go here again if ever we are down in SoCal!

I was so heartbroken when Mikawaya closed in Gardena. There was no place to purchase fresh mochigashi. A friend at work brought me a mochi from Chikara Mochi and I was in heaven. I went today and purchased all the mochi I wanted. Each piece is so delicately decorated. My son and I have devoured 3 pieces so far and all were exceptionally soft, smooth, and so flavorful. And, as an added bonus, I get to support a minority owned woman in her business endeavor. Ganbatte! Update: I can not express how much I love Chikara Mochi. Her skills are just amazing. The white mochi is named Mount Fuji. If you look closely, the blue decoration is Mount Fuji sprinkled with snow with the red sun. It's almost too beautiful to eat

LOVE the mochi here!! My favorite flavors are the peach and the coffee. So nice and soft. Super friendly and lovely staff too. Will always come here for my mochi needs!

Really good mochi to go. They're so pretty. They are filled with green bean or red bean paste. Tasty and soft, but not too sweet. Cash-only. Place cash in the tray like in Japan, don't hand them the cash.

We try to come a couple times later in the afternoon, it was closed or sold out. We finally able to get in around noon and they only have a few pieces left. The mochi is very fresh and delicious, definitely worth it. It’s also decorated super cute. Very good gift or treat!
