Mayca Moon Matcha Kuzumochi with Matcha Powder Wagashi Traditional Japanese sweets Green tea Kuzu Mochi

It is authentic Japanese food

This stuff is fantastic! The taste is amazing and it's fun to eat. It is, however, too overpriced on Amazon, double most local markets

It’s right taste but way over priced. I put my iPhone 12 for size comparison. I really hope Amazon will set price fair rule or something.

you cannot taste the matcha at all

This is very good kuzumochi. I have had the original variant before with kinako and brown syrup but this one taste just as great.Ingredients:Sugar, Kazu powder, Matcha, chlorella, lactose/polysaccharide thickener, Glycine, acidulant, flavor, LysozymeIt also comes with a pack of matcha.To break it down, it is just big words which are safe to eat.- Chlorella is an algae/ seaweed that most likely gives the kauzumochi the green color- Polysaccharide is a flavorless thickener- Glycine is an amino acid found in most protein- Acidulant is an amino acid that gives food a tart taste- Lysozyme is used to preserve food. I think the seaweed might also contain that as well.To summarize, it is just sugar mixed with kudzu starch and seaweed for coloring to create a soft jelly like dish.Taste 5/5I really enjoy the kazumochi. It tastes smooth and refreshing. I'd say it is a little bit sweet, but with the matcha, the matcha really compliments the sweetness.Packaging 5/5The product is made in Japan, and I love their packaging. The sides are taped and when I hold the package, it gives off a "tasty snack" vibe.It comes with a little knife to cut up the kuzumochi.Cost 3/5kuzumochi is just kadzu powder and sugar. This one however has additional flavoring and coloring which I won't be able to replicate at home. For that I can justify the worth of this dessert.If I were to make original kudzu, the dessert should be a lot cheaper. For the same price, I can probably make about 4-5 times that amount given in the package.Overall, a very nice quality dessert. I'd say this is more of a nice dessert given as a gift. Although on the expensive side, I can really see the time and effort that was put in to make this delicious food.

I lived in Japan for a couple of decades so I'm very familiar with this type of traditional sweet. It's light on the sweetness/sugar and mainly a satisfying texture experience. The block of kuzumochi is a bit like a gelatin, but with more body. It's soft, but it doesn't cleave or break apart as easily as American gelatin. Much of the flavor comes from sprinkling the matcha powder on top rather than from the kuzumochi itself. This is not a dessert for fans of very sweet desserts. It's mildly flavored and mildly sweet. Kuzumochi is usually packed with probiotics and aids in digestion and the absorption of minerals so this is a healthy dessert as well as an interesting and tasty one. This was very authentic to what I experienced in Japan.

The Mayca Moon Matcha Kuzumochi is a unique treat to try. The texture is nothing like the mochi that most people have tried. It's not made of rice, is not chewy, and is much sweeter. The kuzumochi is very soft and jello-like, and the flavor is floral and fruity. You can sprinkle the included packet of matcha powder over the top to help soften the sweetness of the jelly, but I would recommend tasting it before shaking everything on top like we did - the matcha powder is quite strong and adds a good bitter taste, but is probably better in moderation! While the treat was tasty and definitely novel, I'm not sure I would purchase it again just because it's honestly just okay. With so many other Japanese snacks to enjoy, this is a snack that is only worth getting if you really like jelly snacks and matcha.

My family and I liked it. It was our first time trying matcha. (We chopped the matcha block and poured the powder over the top of the chopped pieces.)It jiggles and chops like Jello, but the texture is more like pudding.The amount you get is much smaller than I'd anticipated: about the size of a deck of cards. I'd heard groceries are expensive in Japan, and this product feels about as expensive as I'd imagined Japanese groceries to be (though I'm in USA, not Japan!).Not vegan.Sweetness: sweet like other Asian sweets; less sweet than typical American sweetsWill I try it again? Yes, some day... because it's different and good. But definitely not instead of ice cream!
