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.

Ochiai's signature Mochiai combines a supple rice-dough exterior with an airy mousse filling. Handmade in Barcelona, it is a distinctive proposition for buyers seeking a mochi experience beyond conventional ice-cream formats.
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 professional range includes flavours such as matcha, yuzu, strawberry, mango and wasabi, taro, gianduja, double chocolate, white chocolate and cinnamon, cheesecake and strawberry with anko.
Mochiai can create a colourful tasting sequence, an individual plated element or a differentiated Japanese dessert range. Its visual identity helps chefs and buyers communicate flavour before service.
Formats, assortment, packaging, technical information, allergens, minimum quantities and logistics are confirmed for each professional project.
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.
