      Ming Tings it’s averagely $1.50 each mochi. The gift box is $12 for 8 and then there’s different prices for more quantity but I usually get the box of 8 and you can choose which you want in it.

      @@faithreturns333 not necessarily, the son is wearing a hat, which is with California food safety regulation. As far as the girl, she was an interviewer and doesn't work in cooking food, even if she helped make a few mochi for one day. Then as far as the dad/owner, even if he doesn't wear a hair net/hat, he serves minimal risk to food contamination because of the his short hair and being part of "front of house". But if you're concerned about hair in food, I wouldn't go to most restaurants, especially chains. Ive worked in a few while in hs and college. The things I've seen, all except WDW, the least you should worry about is hair 😭

    I'm glad they're getting more coverage. I first went to the shop when my Japanese American friend dragged our friend group, when we were barely teenagers, to the shop citing that her parents thought it was the best for mochi. She wasn't wrong. Since then I make it a point to drop by and buy a snack whenever I'm in the area and I now drag my university friends with me.

    I went to Fugetso-Do for the first time yesterday, thanks in part to this video. The host is right that the texture of their mochi is incredible; I'm not a big fan of red bean paste, but the mochi is so good, that it makes the red bean paste inside better. I also tried their non-traditional chocolate ganache mochi, and it's seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten.

      @@halfdemon4lifeintime Are you trying to say that since the comment are posted a few days ago and therefore this is filmed at least a few day ago? Because if you are,
      1)why are you looking at the comment to determine when the video is release?
      2)video takes a long time to produce and edit. I know a lot of channels that record their videos before the pandemic and slowly release them one by one.

    The part where Brian talked about the internment camps and how they struggled to rebuild hurt so badly. It was not that long ago and people don’t talk about it enough. Also I def cried when I saw his son was interested in taking over bc there must be lots of small family businesses that are hard to continue bc the next generation doesn’t want to keep it up. But this was so cute and now I’m hungry for mochi

      Mochi and katakuri are technically not related though. Katakuri starch, similar to potato starch, is often used in cooking, and can be very sticky like the character from ONEPIECE. Mochi is made from a special breed of extra sticky rice.
