Mochi Sweets

In the same way that the French love their macarons and have created a global craze for that special sweet, so are the Japanese exporting a taste for mochi. The rice donuts with fillings like mango yogurt, red bean, chocolate mousse and green tea are heavenly treats. Mochi Sweets is like the Ladurée of Japan. There are a number of outposts in Hanoi, and this one in the heart of the Old Quarter is the perfect place for a pick-me-up treat when shopping, but also worth an excursion just to taste this particular dessert craze.
