Tsuki Mochi's artisan chocolate mochi truffles are the perfect gift for the culinary adventurer this Christmas. Beautifully presented in an elegantly embossed box, these luxurious Japanese sweets provide the ideal stocking filler for foodies and chocoholics.
Divine Chocolates From Japan
Made from pounded and sweetened rice flour, mochi is a delicacy in Japan where it has been eaten for over one thousand years and is fast becoming an exciting new culinary trend in Britain.
It has a distinctive chewy and "otherworldly" texture, which has earned it both cult status in its home country and a celebrity following in the West, with a huge number of A-list fans, from Kendall Jenner, pop sensation Harry Styles to super model Heidi Klum.
Tsuki Mochi has updated the classic mochi recipe. Its chocolate truffles are dusted with cocoa and filled with a decadent Belgian chocolate ganache, creating a combination of contrasting textures that makes each mouthful so unique.
The distinctive taste and special consistency of Tsuki Mochi makes these Japanese artisan truffles a truly memorable gift and the beautiful packaging ensures they will set the scene under any Christmas tree.
Every one of these sweet little spheres is hand-rolled in London, according to the traditional Japanese method. The mochi is produced by skilfully steaming and then pounding rice flour until it gains the beautifully soft elasticity for which it is famous.
The soft, velvety and bouncy texture of mochi is just as special as its delicious taste. Beloved in Japan and known as the "Q texture" in the Far East, "Q" is to culinary consistency what umami is to taste. This epicurean import from Asia is familiar to adventurous Western palates from the chewy tapioca balls found at the bottom of Taiwanese bubble tea and is set to be the next big trend on the UK's gastronomic scene.
Tsuki Mochi's mochi truffles come in a box of four, available to purchase in Selfridges with a RRP of £4.50.
Tsuki Mochi require no preparation before consumption, are ready to eat straight from the box and are best enjoyed chilled and at one bite at a time.
