I’ve never been a fan of mochi ice cream. Why order this pathetic ball of an ice cream wrapped in doughy rice when I could have a full scoop of ice cream that will last way longer? While writing my last review on Bubbies I came across a few reviews that mentions how mind blowing their green tea mochi balls are. These people made it seem as though this little mochi ball had changed their lives. I couldn’t take it anymore. All of a sudden I felt imprisioned. Had I really been on the outside looking in this whole time. I wanted to be free from the rigid social conventions of plain rice and ice cream. Free me green mochi ball, free me! I fell to my knees and took a vow. Next time, little green tea mochi, next time it will be you, me and pure bliss. I promise you that!
Well next time came and my vow I kept. I ordered two because just ordering one is dumb. They had a nice selection of mochi to chose from. I picked green tea and red bean. It was served in a puny clear plastic cup and a little smaller than what I had expected. I don’t know why but for some reason I was expecting some abnormally large manufactured mochi ball. It was probably from all the hype that I read about them.
This is the red azuki bean mochi ball. I took a bite out of it so you can see that it’s red bean flavor all the way through, the mochi and the ice cream.

These green tea balls won’t T-bag you.
My little sister from California ordered a scoop of ice cream in a large waffle cone.
When I tasted it my first reaction was, “I think there’s something wrong with the sherbert, like it went a little sour.” But then I saw the name, Rasberry Merlot Sherbert. Oh, o.k. merlot. Now it instantly tasted delightfully tart. I could really taste the strong pungent merlot, while the sweetness from the rasberry sherbert gave it this subtle yet refreshing taste. Good pick sis.
Overall I’m gonna have to give it up to Bubbies, pronounced boobies, I hope. The mochi balls were a delight. The thin layer of mochi embraced its cold creamy center allowing the ice cream to really take the stage and shine. The only way they could improve on this is to make these balls larger and we all can agree that there’s nothing wrong with big balls.
