Bentos Mochi Delectables

Now a highlight of the downtown farmer’s market on Fort Street Mall, Bentos Mochi Delectables is my latest treasured discovery!
Owners Kui and Kristin are as sweet as their delectable mochi and marshmallow treats, handing out these amazing confections in mouthwatering flavors that are as much a feast for the eyes as the palate. Though you’ll want to savor every bite, it’s way too easy to munch them down before a picture can be taken.
First-​timers may want to try the chubby fudgy bites featuring six stubby finger-​sized morsels at $ 4 for the musubi-​container pack. If a chi chi dango mochi married a chocolate fudge brownie, these little chubbettes are the adorbs result! Or, for $ 3.75 a piece, a dark chocolate truffle mochi will have you swooning over the dense chocolateee center enveloped by the chocolateee mochi covering.
The handmade marshmallows are unlike anything I’ve ever had before, fresh and light as air, none of that store bought packaged goods fakey taste. This is the real deal. Loved the salted chocolate caramel marshmallow, but a new flavor is a mint chocolate chip marshmallow that tastes every bit like my favorite San Francisco-​style mint chocolate chip ice cream!
Buy one or buy a set, these make terrific gifts for the holidays or anytime of the year. Look for their kiosk just past Macy’s on Fort Street Mall during the Tuesday and Friday farmer’s markets. Enjoy!
