Issei reviews suggest that the brand's mochi gummies work well for those seeking a chewy and unique snack, though they may not be for everyone. A notable strength of Issei is the addictive chewy texture of their gummies, which many users find appealing. However, a significant weakness is the small portion size relative to the price, which some customers find disappointing. Additionally, there are concerns about the consistency in flavor quality and some instances of hard pieces causing dental issues. These factors should be considered by potential buyers when deciding on Issei products.

At this price I was excited to try them! Unfortunately, to me, they were just almost tasteless gummies. There was nothing enjoyable about them that my family and friend could detect. The ingredients are reasonable for gummies. To us there’s no subtle flavor to them, just not much of anything.
Honestly, we were expecting more out of these. They're good, but not good enough on their own. I think they would work better as an ice cream or dessert topping. I can't describe it but there's something missing, whether that be flavor or something else, when you eat them just straight out the bag. Cool concept though and the packaging looks very nice as well.

These were fun to try — the mochi texture is classically chewy and satisfying and the flavors are subtle but enjoyable. It's slightly more of a candy than a mochi. I liked them, but they’re not something I find myself reaching for every day. More of a novelty than a go-to snack, but still worth trying if you’re curious and like a squishy bite. I tried the Sour Watermelon, and Dark Chocolate Strawberry. One heads up for anyone with nut allergies: the Chocolate Covered Strawberry flavor contains pecans somehow, which was unexpected — definitely something to double check before snacking.
I was really excited having these until I broke a tooth on one of their mochis. The mochi had a hard piece inside of the mochi. This happened in January. I messaged the company and still am waiting to have resolution on this case. It cost me a very expensive dental visit and expenses to pay. I would not recommend. Caused me a lot of stress and emotional distress handling my dental care as well as communicating with their insurance company that still has not given me a full answer.
