Mochi Madness

After a long work week, you set your alarm early and head out while the morning is still quiet. One of the stops is the supermarket. You wander through the frozen dessert aisle and slow your cart in front of the mochi ice cream boxes, their soft yet vibrant colors stand out behind the glass. The variety pack is what catches your attention the most, so you choose that particular box. This box includes the flavors kiwi, lychee, omakase strawberry, and blueberry.

Later in the evening, when the day finally settles, you open the box and sit down at last. each piece is coated in dough and completely frozen solid. You pick up one piece and bite into it. The elasticity of the rice dough pulls into your teeth as the hardened ice cream begins to melt away in your mouth as you chew. Mochi Madness is that calm exhale at the end of your very busy first day of the weekend. When everything this done and you finally get to enjoy something colorful, comforting, and well deserved.
