Mochikon - Ready-to-Eat Konjac Dessert with Mochi-Like Chewy Texture, Gluten-...

I had no idea what these were but they looked good in the description so I decided to try them. However, I did not like the texture and the taste was bland.

Interesting! Not gross but probably won’t get again ! Preparing them wasn’t that appetizing

First time trying this as well as the toasted soybean flavor. They're both so good ill be reordering. Fast shipping too.

Horrible, from the smell to the taste, horrible plastic taste.

We absolutely love mochi and live for Asian snacks. We have an Asian-food market near us and love trying new, cool snacks! But this is the first time we encountered one with "Acesulfame K." We needed to look this up. Apparently, it's an artificial sugar that can be really hard on your GI system. So, sadly, this was reserved only for mom and dad to try. Now, we did give it our best try, and we do love deconstructed/reconstructed snacks, but the texture wasn't quite there and the taste was really odd. We each had a bite and decided to discard these because of the Acesulfame K. I think we would have been less tentative and had a chance to enjoy these if it weren't for the artificial sugars. (And, the kids would have had a chance to play too). I hope these will be made in the future with more wholesome ingredients! We are always game for a new snack!

The Mochikon konjac dessert is not what I was expecting as I thought they were already made into little balls, pieces or rounds and pre-flavored with the chocolate. However, you make your own dessert out of it by cutting the konjac gel into pieces and then sprinkling it with cocoa powder and topping with the syrup. I've had konjac previously but always in a savory noodle form (low carb eating often have these in place of pasta). The gel like texture is an acquired texture to get used to if you are not familiar with it. While I can sometimes eat the noodle form in the right recipes, I couldn't do this dessert form of it personally. However, since that is just a personal texture issue, I'd still give the dessert a 4 as it was fresh, the chocolate sauce is fine and the cocoa powder is of course good. It also comes with the little dish and a little plastic knife. If you enjoy konjac or this style Asian dessert, I think you'll like it.

Gross

There's nothing directly offensive about the flavor of this dessert, its just very different. In the package is a, ah, brick of konjac jelly, very densely set, a small packet of almost unsweetened cocoa powder and another foil package of a dark chocolate syrup. Also a small plastic knife and a plastic tub. From what I gather the idea is you cut up the konjac, sprinkle the powder on it then top with the syrup, based on the picture, but man, what a process. The jelly is STICKY and tough, it does not want to cut and it does not want to separate, it's tacky and makes a mess of your fingers. Anyway, once done what you have is a flavorless chewy cube coated with a bit of chocolate. It's not BAD but again, it's a little difficult and less exciting than what most western palettes are used to.
