DIY Mochi Donut Kits

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Global Grub Partners with Chef Morimoto for This Playful Product Offering

— August 4, 2023 — Pop Culture
DIY mochi donut kits have grown in popularity over recent years as the authentic taste of Japanese treats peaks consumer attention in North America while the do-it-yourself format offers an entertaining experience. The mochi donut is a unique type of donut that incorporates mochi, a traditional Japanese rice cake made from glutinous rice flour. Its texture is chewy and slightly dense, unlike the typical fried and fluffy indulgence.

Global Grub and Iron Chef celebrity Chef Morimoto have partnered to bring consumers a playful and elevated DIY mochi donut kit. The product features mochi donuts in three delicious flavors, including chocolate, strawberry, and macha. All necessary ingredients and tools—from the rice flour and confectioners' sugar to the flavor powders, the donut mold, and the reusable piping bag—are included. Individuals can make approximately 18 baked mochi donuts with the kit.
