    バター茶サンド
    Derek L.

    Decided to come by to check them out after their renovations. They have lots of new products, including fruit jellies from sembikiya and butter press sand cookies, along with classic faves like yoku moku and Royce chocolates. I decided to try the matcha butter sand ($22 for a box of 5). I asked for sample and was curtly told, "we dont have samples". They def used to give out a yoku moku cigar or Kobe gaufres cookies as samples to paying customers. Sad to see that with the renovation they have become stingy.

    I have been to their SF location and was surprised to see them here. The displays are incredible and everything looks very delicate and artsy. This is an acquired taste and I am not a crazy fan which was the same reaction I had the last time I had it.

    Fill out the order form for Mochi Cream and Ice Cream Mochi then give it to the attendant for packing. The Mochi Cream is very soft. The thickness of dough is thicker than Ice Cream Mochi but thinner than traditional mochi. Instead of the usual bean fillings, they are filled with choice of 24 flavors and googy cream. Most excellent dessert. Not cheap, close to $2 per piece, but worth every penny and calorie. Caramel Pudding - my favorite Sakura - sandy texture Blueberry Yogurt - also sandy texture Apple Pie - real cinnamon apples and cream Can't wait to try other flavors

    The Azuki (red bean) mochi is 10/10. Not too sweet, and everything you'd expect a red bean mochi to be like (it's accompanied by a whipped cream inside). The raspberry mille-feuille, which I ate second, was sooooooo sweet. The cream was way too sweet. The wafer crunch was fun but I couldn't taste/focus on the raspberry jam bc the whipped cream filling was too sweet. Both were $2.15 each and took about 30 min to defrost completely. I actually ate them a little over an hour later and preferred them not icy/cold at all. Mochi was super soft (about half the size of a small palm). Service was super friendly and professional. Would bump up stars if the individual mochi wrapping came in wax paper/paper bags instead of plastic. Too much single-use plastic polluting our environments.

    Wow, I wish I had tried them sooner! J.sweets is located within the mitsuwa market along with other shops & eateries in there. Parking is a hassle if it's one of those busy days which is almost all the time. So I am not a big fan of mochi maybe because I never really had a good one other than the ones that's prepackage, but I kid you not after trying these I am so pleasantly surprised. Since having them I have been wanting more, but unfortunately it's 3 hrs drive from where I'm at. They have so many selection cream/fillings mochi & also ice cream ones. Mochi were so soft like it almost melts in your mouth. The fillings were nice, creamy & not overly sweet. I definitely enjoyed the selections I picked out. The staff was really friendly & professional. This place definitely changed my perspective about mochi & I look forward to trying more flavors esp. the ice cream ones.

    I was just checking out some new places on Yelp and I came across J. Sweets. They had pretty great reviews and the pictures reminded me of a spot back home. Before coming to San Jose, my friends and I went to a place that sells mochi donuts. And I still had a craving for it. J. Sweets sells mochi donuts so I was all about it. J. Sweets is located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. As soon as you enter Mitsuwa, it's on your right. They have all kinds of Japanese confectionery in that section. Not sure if J. Sweets is the name of the whole section but the place that I got my mochi from was called Mochicream. They had a display case that showed mochi donuts, mochi ice cream, and stuffed mochi. We waited a while trying to decide what to get and noticed no one was coming to help us. Soon we found a paper checklist. You pretty much fill out this paper of what you want and then go to the cash register. Then they will help you get what you want. I guess if you have a question about their products you would have to ask at the register. We decided on getting the mochi donuts flavored peach, green tea, and strawberry. We also got mochi with filling in them. The flavors that we got for that was custard, green tea, blueberry, strawberry. We decided not to get the mochi ice cream because it was quite cold outside. The cream filled mochi was excellent. We loved all of the ones that we got. Just this alone makes me want to try more and come back. The mochi donuts was disappointing. It wasn't fresh because it was wrapped in an individual wrapper and the clerk pulled it out from some drawer. We ordered too much for us to eat in one sitting so I refrigerated one of the mochi donuts. It was the peach mochi donut. I decided to try it the next morning and it was gross. It didn't taste like mochi at all! It almost tasted like rubber. Overall I would go back for the filled mochi but not the donuts. I'll stick to my favorite place for those. Also they could work a little on their customer service.

    The treats are tasty, but.. Purchased 35 worth of goods. When I asked for a bag after I already had been checked out, the lady replied I need to charge you another 10 cents really. So, you want me to go back n my bag and grab my wallet and then get my card out again for 10 ca to & something you should provide after my purchase. So annoyed!!

    The world of mochi is vast! J. Sweets is a corner-counter space inside the Mitsuwa supermarket which specializes in whipped cream-like fillings for their mochi. I enjoy mochi ice cream, but if you're expecting ice cream mochi then don't buy the unwrapped mochi you see taking up the most of the display case. They sell the ice cream ones too, but they are individually wrapped/ pre-packaged. I think they were at the bottom of the case. These were large and just okay. J. Sweets has a good variety of whipped cream filled mochi. They are sold frozen from the display case, but they instruct you to thaw them for 15 minutes before eating. I only tolerate blended bean filling mochi, so these creamy mochi are a good alternative.

    Double mango

    I've always noticed this place shopping at Mitsuwa and finally decided to give it a try. It's a small shop located to the right of the entrance when you first walk in near the fresh produce area. I was surprised to see so many flavors, ranging from your traditional ones to more adventurous flavors. I decided to get the double mango, sakura and raspberry mille-feuille. I was surprised that these actually come frozen - note that 15 minutes is recommended for thawing them. They were pretty good, but different from the mochi I'm used to as they were also filled with creme in the middle (as opposed to the filling just for that flavor). I thought they were pretty good and worth a try, but I personally prefer the manju I get from the shop in SJ Japan Town - the texture and taste is more fresh for around the same price. However, if you're looking for innovative flavors, this place is a great place to pick some up!

    This place carry Minamoto Kitchoan products and close by my house!! I've been here 3x this month already. Poor husband will be bankrupt soon because of our sweet tooth. $38 for each of those boxes of mochis guys. $18 for the champagne chocolates. I tried the Sakura and red sweet potatoes mochi cream and I don't like them. Probably I would like without the cream filling, it's really overkill.

    Mai X.

    Came here on Monday to try out their mochi cream! Everything was very delicious, creamy and not too sweet and is not as expensive as you would think it is. There was about 10-12 flavors to choose from. Would love to return!

    The pancake desert is good.

I ordered my favorite, dark chocolate almond clusters, as well as English toffee, chocolate peanut clusters, almond bark, and chocolate hazelnuts. It was delivered quickly and everything was nicely individually packaged. The two squares of English toffee I ordered were like two bricks. Massive and covered in powdery almond pieces. They tasted good, but were too hard and thick. I prefer smaller pieces of toffee rolled in larger pieces of almond. I wasn't too impressed with the almond clusters or bark, either. It tasted okay and had lots of almonds in each bite, but the dark chocolate was overly sweet and tasted like the type of chocolate used in grocery store candy bars, even though they make it right there. The dark chocolate peanut clusters were the best item. They had a wonderful touch of salt that was so delicious. I would definitely go back for more of those. Next time, I'd like to try a caramel apple and chocolate dipped strawberries. Both look scrumptious on their website.

I wanted a simple pumpkin piñata, nothing over the top. Besides not being ready when I asked for it to be ready, it was still not ready the following day when they said it would be ready. It was incredibly unprofessional that it would not be ready when the order was placed. And I came over two weeks to order it, and asked if they would be able to have it done because I understand how much work goes into it. And if they were going to be unable to fulfill my piñata order they could have just said it and I would have understood. I didn't pay $98 for a piñata to have this outcome. I drove out from Central Valley to come get this piñata also, because I knew their quality and trusted them. There was no remorse or apologizing for not having it ready. At my party, It fell apart immediately when I hung it on the string to have all my kids hit it. And I had barely put any candy in it. Not even 1/4 of the way full. Was not heavy one bit, very disappointing for myself and all of the kids. Had to tie string all around the piñata in order to allow some kids to at least has a few hits to it. Definitely never ever going to come here again. Incredibly sad because I've been buying here for almost 4 years.

As suggested by it $9.5 a cube of candy and pretty packaging. I thought at a premium price point of $9.5 I would be getting good quality candy. This is my little luxury. And I was so excited. But.. We bought five cubes of candy, 2 of which are dark chocolate almonds. The almonds tastes oxidized, you know that rancid long expired nut taste. It's not edible. Both boxes have the same rancid taste issue. We live two hours away so it's not practical to drive back for an exchange or refund. So we called customer service. It took a long time for a representative to be available to help us but that's ok. The representative promised a full refund and shipping us a replacement. We weren't expecting that as I just want the two inedible cubes refunded. But I appreciate them promising to make it right. However, two weeks has passed and we did not receive any refund nor shipping confirmation. So we called again, which again took a long time for a representative to be available. We explained the issue, and were told the first ticket was probably not submitted. They promised again a full refund and shipping us a replacement for the two defected products. And weeks passed nothing again. We called a third time. And I really just want the two cubes of inedible candy refunded. And was told "well we refunded you". But it's been 7 weeks there was truly no refund.. After three long calls and empty promises I gave up on trying to fix it. I'm just expecting adequate quality for what I paid for but they can't deliver. This is not advertised as your average brand. So I believe customers should receive not your average product. I don't condone these empty promises and false hopes either. Candy is supposed to make us happy. But this candy caused so much heartache for us. We did everything we can to delay the review and try to resolve it first. I genuinely always believe a bad product could be an accident and the business is willing to fix it. Instead of rushing to review I always reach out and explain and resolve it. We tried and are tired. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. If you do buy their candy. Please try it before you leave the place..
