Issei reviews and discussion

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.

Purchased and tried the strawberry flavor. The packaging is very cute and convenient. The taste is pretty interesting/unique, texture is less mochi than I was expecting. Agree with another reviewer they’d be better as a topping than on their own.

I tried the sour watermelon version of this and thought the gummies were pretty tasty. They are not overly sweet or sour, just perfect. I have never tried mochi gummies before these so I don’t have anything to compare to. Typically I am not a mochi fan, but I thought these were pretty good.

I tried the mochi gummy in the strawberry flavor. It's like a chewier mochi or a doughier gummy that was surprisingly not too sweet. I would say it's less candy than something sweet to kick a small craving. Was disappointed with how small the pieces/packaging was so likely would not repurchase with my own money but enjoyed it while I had it.

I absolutely love the strawberry and vanilla mochi gummies. Unfortunately, it’s near impossible to find vanilla in a store. I’m not a fan of the other flavors and look forward to trying peach, tangerine and limited edition green apple. I hope they come out with vegan dark chocolate dipped mochi gummies. The package is the perfect size for the amount it has in it. I appreciate that they don’t waste packaging. However, I would like way more in one package, especially for the price. The price varies widely depending on where purchased and I usually wait until I see them for $3.50. Which, I still think is too much, but they are amazing. I think they’re the perfect texture, thickness, chewiness, and flavor. Although I like the white powder, I wish it would only get on my hands and in my mouth. I always find it on my clothes.

Really yummy fun twist on gummies. If you like mochi you will like these a lot!

tried the mango. good flavor, but not super satisfying as a snack/sweet treat on its own. would be a great ice cream/froyo topping!

I didn't like these very much. They taste nothing like the traditional mochi candies I know, the texture is much harder and the flavor is a bit too light for my tastebuds. They're still a healthy option for snacking though.

Issei’s mochi gummies nail the chewy, bouncy texture that’s totally addictive, but the flavor falls flat. For the tiny portion, the price is kind of wild—definitely more of a novelty snack than a regular go-to for me.

Like these more for texture than the taste. They’re a bit bland

These gummies are beyond delicious! I hate that so few come in a pack because I can easily go through it in one sitting 🙃 I love the texture and the bite each gummy has - I also like that they aren't too sweet and that I don't feel gross or even sluggish after eating. I will say that eating just one, does make make want to go for another one, so heads up, if you think you're immune from finishing the bag in one go. The best flavor is the Sour Watermelon, hands down. The other flavors like Mango and Strawberry are good, but the winner for me will always be the Sour Watermelon 🤤
