Just Buy Them, Trust Me
As always, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I first found these in the first Bokksu subscription box you get (I think it's called something like Seasons of Japan, I'm not 100% sure what the name of the box is) when you subscribe to Bokksu, and I searched for them for WEEKS. I finally found them available on Amazon - of all places, when I couldn't find them ANYWHERE else for individual sale - and I can't stop myself from binge eating them. The only way to prevent it is by having my friend hold onto the bag and ration them out to me. To me, they taste like bouncy, silky marshmallows with that gorgeous floral-tea taste on the end. Absolutely sinful. Not an overwhelming sweetness, either. Just the perfect amount to let you know it's a sweet treat, not just smacking you in the face with sugar. These are a STAPLE in my household and will be for as long as they're available for me to purchase, I don't give a damn how expensive it is. It is worth EVERY PENNY.

Delicious Treat!
So soft and fluffy! Amazing flavor. I like that it’s light and floral and not overly strong. It’s a perfect treat for Sakura season (or anytime!)

Decent! Too sweet - tastes like Peeps
I live where mochi is mostly ice cream inclusive or taro/matcha/durian so this turned out to be a good option for me, who doesn't like any of those. The texture was better than most, but not quite "there" for traditional mochi. Also, these were too sweet and instead of getting that real, floral sakura flavor, it is over-sweetened to the point the flavor is overwhelmed and tastes exactly like a peep. Good think I like peeps, but, if I wanted one of those, I'd just buy them (for a lot less than these cost). On the fence about buying again - waiting to receive and taste a different brand's Yuzu flavor, to decide.

Just as delightful as I had hoped 🌸🍬
I've had these in my "save for later" list for the past two years. I ended up putting more traditional (and inferior!) Easter basket candies. These are just delightful, lightly sweet mochi! They give off the perfect springy vibes and I think they've set off a mochi kick lol. I don't know yet if the kids will like them but I love them 😍Side note, I have one "texture sensitive" child, who doesn't eat anything with words or "designs" on it. You have no idea how hard that is to find! So these are perfect little unassuming lumps. Now I don't have to melt the design off a Cadbury egg lol.

Shipped improperly
Taste is great, but was shipped in soft Amazon envelope and soft candy arrived completely smashed. Not raised and puffy as pictured. Should have been shipped in a small box. Didn’t affect unique flavor.

You should absolutely buy these!
I recently had an Asian snack party / game night. This was one of the items I had purchased. I was worried it might be too floral, but it is absolutely perfect. It is so mild. The scent, the taste and the texture are perfect. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect little treat. To try and save some money, I purchased two other brands that were slightly less expensive, and they were returned. They were absolutely awful. They were overwhelmingly scented and flavored like floral bath soap or perfume. Completely inedible. If you're interested in cherry blossom mochi, let this be the one you buy. I have now purchased five bags total. Stunningly delicious in its mildness and simplicity.
