Hey! I just had Ichigo Daifuku the other day for the first time. Incredibly good. I was out exploring, stopped in a convenient store to buy a drink and saw them sitting on the counter. Turns out it’s the best thing I’ve had in, well, like a week, but definitely a new favorite, haha.

Hi Norman
Yummy, eh?!
Yes, ‘Fresh’ is often the operative word in Japanese cuisine. … Or, salted to death, like Osechi.

I tried one early this month at their Ginza store - Unbelievable GOOD! Too bad can’t buy some home - all are good for one day.

Hi Lori,
The size of a fist? Whoa! That is a biggin!
Supersized Ichigo Daifuku!!
The strawberry being completely covered in mochi is authentic and common.

I think it’s the same…it has a nice big piece of strawberry covered with azuki covered with mochi. The only difference I can see is with the one I get the strawberry is completely wrapped in the mochi. And they put a huge piece of strawberry in making it almost the size of a fist! Yum!

Peko! I went to the Japanese market today and I found a beautiful daifuku! Now all I need is a perfect strawberry to pop in the center…

Hi Lori
Thanks for coming to visit.
Strawberry mochi, in Hawaii? Is that Ichigo Daifuku, or something else?

Oooh, I’m really craving that now. Whenever I go on vacation to Hilo (Hawaii) I always buy a box of strawberry mochi if it’s available.
