THANK YOU VERY MOCHI

There are only 3 other brick and mortar shops (1 in LA and 2 in OC) that I know of where you can authentic, freshly made Japanese mochi like this in Southern California. I’ve been coming here since the days it was called Hogetsu-Do, and everything is always delicious and fresh here. I also love the unique flavors they have, the coconut mochi in particular is impressive to me. 1000% worth the trip to support this business.

Excellent mochi. Chew and melt in your mouth. We got mango, coconut, peanut butter, and strawberry. Coconut is definitely the best one. Will come back for more.

This will be the most AUTHENTIC mochi you will get here in San Diego. True Japanese mochi. This really is a hidden gem. Super soft and flavorful.

I used to buy mochi from the local asian stores in San Diego until I found out about Thank You Very Mochi location in Chula Vista. Store packaged mochi doesn't come close to homemade mochi which uses natural ingredients, and it tastes so delicious. I've been coming to Thank You Very Mochi on a regular basis ever since. I recommend the Chula Vista location for those looking for traditional/homemade mochi.

the mochi shop is located inside one of the stores in a small strip mall area. maybe unassuming from the outside, but the display of the variety of mochi that this shop offers shines through the display case. there was less variety when I came in during mid afternoon time. while I am one who loves the red and white bean paste mochi offerings, the store also offers a good variety of flavored, fruity, and even cheesecake mochi. the lady helping me out told me that most of the mochi options are vegan except for the butter mochi, cheesecake mochi, and milky mochis. I love that she got excited about me asking about whether the red bean pace was tsubuan (chunky) or koshian (smooth). for reference, it seems that the red bean paste mochis use chunky paste, while the white bean paste mochis are smooth paste. my friend and I and my partner loved the mochi we ate. I used to frequent by Osaka-ya in Sacramento for mochi before moving to San Diego, so I’m very happy that this store is here. I'll definitely come back here for more! (also, I called in previously to ask if they offered sakura mochi for girls day. they do, but I didn't have the time to swing by!)

Excellent mochi and friendly customer service. Highly recommend the strawberry white bean daifuku, and the green tea mochi.

Original, authentic mochi that tastes incredible! Super fresh, fun flavors — a real treat for mochi lovers!

So good! Definitely high quality mochi❤️

Randomly was craving mochi and decided to see if there were any mochi shops in the area, and this popped up. I wasn't sure how legit the mochi was, but decided to stop by anyways since I had the day off. And let me say I was pleasantly surprised! The mochi was fresh, soft, and flavorful. I didn't have a chance to take a photo because I ate them too fast haha but my favorite was the red beach mochi with kinako. Definitely going to recommend this place to my friends if they're craving authentic Japanese mochi! Also want to note, prices seemed very reasonable compared to some mochi pop ups

Wow. Incredible mochi. Truly the softest, freshest mochi I've had! The strawberry cheesecake filled mochi was delightful. I also got green tea, orange, brownie, condensed milk, and mango. Every piece was soft and delicious with a delicate chew. I highly recommend coming early because the strawberry daifuku was already sold out when I arrived.

Absolutely Love this place! I have never had Mochi this good! I have had Oreo Cheesecake and green tea and they have been Excellent cant wait to go back!

How did I not know this was here all this time! My daughter had given me a box of assorted mochi. I was so surprised and delighted. It reminded me of soft mochi from Japan. Everything was so good I had to go to the store in person. It's a cute shop down in Chula Vista off of the 5 freeway. So many flavors to choose from. The kind woman at the store was so sweet and friendly. She gets extra points for telling me she thought I was half Japanese when I spoke Japanese to her. Yummy mochi and friendly staff. I definitely will go back when I need my Japan and mochi fix!

11/10 Mochi! I have tried mochi all over Southern California and Hawaii and Thank You Very Mochi, formerly Hogetsu-do, is the softest and most authentic! I live in Temecula and make the drive a few times a year. I always place an order the day before to guarantee I get the flavors I want; Saschiko was so helpful and knowledgeable. They have traditional flavors, daifuku stuffed with red and white bean and modern flavors like cookies and crème and brownie! They also have many flavors of mochi peanut butter, vanilla, and mango. They are all amazing! If you have a chance to try their suama, it's the best! The details on their mochi are beautiful! It is truly edible art. Worth the drive every time!

You never had a great mochi until you had it here. They live up to their hype and all the mochi I brought to friends and family said it was the best. They ever had. Small shop and cute. Love the many flavor options they have. Hours are limited so check it out before you show up
