What makes Mochiai different from standard mochi?
Mochiai uses a soft rice-dough exterior around a light pastry mousse rather than presenting a conventional ice-cream centre.

A pastry-led interpretation of mochi
Mochiai was developed as a meeting point between Japanese texture and European pastry sensibility. The outer layer is soft and elastic; the centre is built as a mousse, giving the product a lighter, more aromatic progression on the palate.
The ten-flavour professional range includes matcha, strawberry, chocolate and cinnamon, gianduja, white chocolate, taro, mango and wasabi, double chocolate, yuzu and cheesecake with a blueberry centre.
- Japanese rice-dough exterior
- Light mousse centre
- Hand-finished appearance

A product with a European point of difference
Ochiai presents Mochiai as a handmade, mousse-filled creation with a distinctive position in the European market. Unlike conventional ice-cream mochi, its pastry mousse centre creates a lighter texture and a differentiated proposition for distributors and hospitality buyers.
Production in the Barcelona area gives European partners a direct conversation with the maker. Product availability, destination, volumes, cold-chain requirements and private-label feasibility are confirmed for each project.
04 · Professional purchasing
Mousse-filled mochi, not mochi ice cream.
Mochiai combines soft, elastic mochi dough with a light pastry mousse. It is made by hand in Barcelona and should not be confused with mochi ice cream. Match the flavour selection and individual weight to your dessert menu or retail concept; formats are 70g or 73g depending on the flavour.
Before placing a wholesale order, ask for the current product-specific handling, storage and service instructions. Do not apply an ice-cream specification to a mousse-filled dessert. EU and UK distributors and buyers evaluating Thailand or Vietnam can discuss their volume, destination and launch requirements with the production team.
