![]() 35b Panton St, SW1Y 4EA, the nearest station is Leicester Square. The Mochi Bar can be found at Japan Centre’s flagship food hall in Leicester Square, and will be open Sunday to Friday from 11am to 8pm, and Saturday from 11am to 9pm. We’ll admit that mochi is an acquired taste, so if you’re not a fan, you can at least grab some refreshing bubble tea filled with tapioca pearls, available in the following flavours: original milk tea, matcha, taro, choco milk, mocha milk, and fruit combinations with green tea, including mango, lychee and peach. Or opt for the ‘mochi dango’, which are skewered mochi rice balls covered in a sweet traditional Japanese sauce. Try the ‘mochi daifuku’, a traditional soft and chewy mochi with a sweet adzuki red bean centre in a variety of flavours including matcha, mango, dark chocolate ganache, hoji cha, coffee and yuzu. You can let your tastebuds roam wild through aisles filled with mochi donuts, cookies, pan bread, ice cream, you name it. The good news is, you won’t have to trust our pathetic attempt at describing mochi, because you now have access to an entire shop filled with the dessert. The squishy dessert can be found in creative flavours like matcha, mango, coconut, chocolate, strawberry, and more. We can only try by telling you that mochi often comes in the form of pounded sticky rice balls of ooey-gooey, chewy goodness. If you’ve never tasted mochi, the treat is honestly a bit hard to describe. ![]() ![]() SEE ALSO: A retro ramen bar has opened inside London’s Japanese food hall.
