Once again we have your reservation for “international dining” without leaving Massachusetts
What are mochi donuts? Mochi Donuts are *** hybrid of mochi, which is rice cake and doughnuts. The result is something you can taste, according to this regular. I think the major difference is the texture. It’s got *** more springy, more probably more enjoyable texture. For Kim, it was love at first bite when she discovered the eight bubbled rings at *** pop-up bakery while living in LA. It was life changing because I’ve never had *** doughnut that’s soft but chewy at the same time, and I knew that if I had the opportunity, I would want to bring it to Boston.
