Just for Mochi is an online shop that sells daifuku not using the traditional Japanese fillings. You get things like cheesecake or mousse. That type of thing. But if you don't want to order online, they have a brick and mortar shop in Central. Or at least part of a counter inside Sonia Coffee in Central.The daifuku they have on display is usually what is available that day or what they have left. They sell out quickly.

The daifuku they have on display is usually what is available that day or what they have left. They sell out quickly. When I got there, this is all they had.
Menu is in English and Chinese. If you choose to dine in, there is 10% service charge.
From the selections of the day, I chose Chestnut Hojicha Mochi ($38). The French chestnut paste was placed on the side in a mini tube for decorating yourself along with a piece of chestnut. I thought they'd decorate it for me since I was dining in, but I guess not. So you can play with your food before you eat it!
Squeezing it as nice as possible. It was not easy. Trust me.
Slicing it open, there was French chestnut cream on top, roasted Japanese green tea cream in the middle and the bottom was a crunchy Hojicha chocolate wafer. The mochi was soft and delicate. Literally melt in your mouth fluffiness. The interior was interesting blend of cream and biscuit. So you get both crunch and softness. I did like the traditional version but this was interesting.
It was a bit pricey for such a small bite so unsure if it was truly value for money. Quite good but it wasn't really worth a repeat though I'd like to try the strawberry cheesecake if I ever see that available.
