BEST FOR THE MOM WITH A SWEET TOOTH

The kit comes with all you need to make 32 mochis and best of all it doesn’t require much skill in the kitchen. The only tough part is deciding which flavor to eat first: matcha green tea or cocoa powder.

BEST FOR THE VEGETARIAN

Meatless Mondays will be much more fun and delicious with this tofu press around.
