Hogetsu Bakery

Incredible! Best mochi ever!!! We walked in and were greeted immediately by a kind gentleman. We told him it was our first time and he explained all of the offerings from fruity to with red beans and chocolate. We were so excited that we bought 10! Strawberry, orange, butter, floral, red bean, apricot and more! They were all delicious, fresh, and natural. Each mochi is 1.85, with a few being $2, nevertheless, this is way cheaper than mochi sold in MD.

Great little sweets shop, run by a very enthusiastic and generous couple. Their mochi selection includes typically the gyuuhi soft type and the red or white bean filled daifuku. Our favorites are the citrus and pineapple ones and the smooth redbean filled. They also have seasonal selection such as strawberry daifuku, or specially decorated pieces, or other forms of wagashi like kimi shigure, manju, or yokan. The owner is engaging, prices are very very fair and the mochi is really excellent. Easily on par with anything in SF or LA or Hawaii. If you like mochi, stop by! Only wish they made warabi mochi

it took me 6 months before I could experience this shop for myself. I saw a post online about this shop and immediately forwarded to my friends locally, so they could check it out before I visited. cash only, and business owners who are here to help their community as well. their selection is limited during pandemic, so I asked for one of everything they had. and then some ;) my friend'a favorites are the chewy, milky, and peanut butter. my favorites? PINEAPPLE MOCHI, I was amazed at how good it was, and both pieces I ate had a little bit of pineapple pulp, perfect. Chewy mochi, firmer, and chewy, with a slight saltiness I craved while trying all their other sweet flavors. Kinako (roasted soybean powder) was filled with the chunky sweet red bean, I liked their smooth red bean but the kinako powder is so tasty. Cute turtle dorayaki was a pancake with red bean filling. And the mochi wrapped in the pancake was also very good!! I had a SURPRISE when I bit into a filled mochi that had white bean filling and a dried apricot! it was sooo good. And finally, their yokan was super tall, def try it if you like red bean and agar.
