"These helped ease some of the homesickness to be in such a wonderful place full of happy and peaceful memories."
"They came earier than expected, but all the same I was still pretty excited. Even nicer is that the eight pieces could last longer than other snacks since just one if good enough for a few hours."
"I must say I like these better because they actually tasted fruity like melon but reminded me of green apple, the strawberry ones tasted like bubblegum."
"Mochi should be licensed and regulated."
"I live near many Asian supermarkets, but I don't think I've ever come across a melon flavor, which is a shame, because, artificially-flavored or not, it is downright delicious."
"I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was soft like fresh mochi and was sweet."
"However i do live in the South and when I ordered these on my own, they arrived to me and, well, it looks like they just outright exploded from the heat - the filling was everywhere around the inside of the package, both the marshmallow filling and the melon flavored one, and all of them but 1 was just outright destroyed -- most were just split down the middle, but one of them was split in a myriad of ways, entirely and utterly just exploded."

"They are samplers so this is great for first time mochi tasters."
"However, my co-worker loved them, so I call that a win."
"The mangos, peaches, and berries were sweet and soft.The bean paste was okay, not sweet but I still ate them."
"Bought them for myself, but gave some to two friends of mine and they loved them."
"Loved it."
"The exterior hardly contains any rice layer and the filling was a horrible combination of fake flavor and leaves an almost dry taste in the mouth."
"These were not fresh and didn't taste good."

"But as time passed, things like Hershey's Kisses lost their appeal and I found I really enjoyed the more mellow taste of yokan and other small-sized, azuki-bean treats -- alongside a lovely cup of deep green tea."
"Exactly like the kind I get in the Korean grocery store."
"What more can I say, other then YUM!"
"Taste so good!"
"This package went from Taiwan, to the US, to me in Europe (military mail) and unlike the last time I'd tried ordering mochi, this one did stand up to the shipping. It really isn't the same as fresh and buying locally, but it's good enough for my craving."
"These taste great however the cake itself was a little dry."
