Welcome to Mochi Mochi Japanese Café

We celebrate the art of Japanese sweets and bites, blending tradition with a playful twist to bring you something both authentic and unexpected.

If you haven’t tried mochi before, it’s a delicately chewy treat made from glutinous rice, pounded to perfection for a smooth, pillowy texture. Our ever-changing selection of truffle-sized mochi features flavours ranging from matcha and black sesame to milk tart, Turkish delight, and salted caramel—plus seasonal surprises to keep things exciting.

For those who love tradition, our mitarashi dango offers skewered mochi dumplings glazed with soy caramel and dusted with kinako. Or, indulge in our signature Japanese-style cheesecake, a light, soufflé-like delight served with rich miso caramel. And for something truly special, the daifuku doughnut combines a crispy deep-fried doughnut with seasonal jam, custard cream, and a soft mochi topping—a textural dream.

Beyond mochi, we offer matcha soft serve with customisable toppings and an array of Japanese-inspired baked treats. Think miso sticky buns, melon pan (a milk bread bun topped with a crisp cookie crust), and cheesy anpan, where soft milk bread meets gooey, cheesy custard.

Craving something savoury? Our karepan is a golden, crispy bun filled with mild chicken curry and served with carrot chutney. The wagyu nikuman, a steamed and pan-fried bun stuffed with wagyu mince and cheese, pairs perfectly with black vinegar and cucumber pickle. And for a heartier bite, our milk bread hotdogs come in bold variations like the okonomiyaki dog, spicy dog, trout dog, and Kewpie egg dog.

Be sure to look out for our daily specials, which often include katsu sandwiches—crispy, juicy cutlets paired with soft, fluffy shokupan.

To drink, we offer a carefully curated selection of Japanese teas, including ceremony-grade matcha. Our house-made drinks highlight unique flavours, while coffee lovers can enjoy pour-over brews made with precision and care.

Whether you’re here for a nostalgic taste of Japan or an imaginative take on classic flavours, Mochi Mochi is all about comfort, craft, and a touch of surprise.

Come explore, taste, and indulge.
