Love their fresh fruit mochi! Though the lunch counter of the shop is closed due to Covid they are still selling mochi to go and have great flavors - last time I tried mango and blueberry.

They specialize in daifuki mochi which is the soft mochi with a sweet filling (ie. tree beans, strawberries, blueberries, mango, kinako). Most are food for 3 days but the strawberry and blueberry keep for a day and are 2.20 but the others are 1.50-1.80. No warabi mochi. Various packaged snacks which are available at Japanese supermarkets. Wait outside about 25 min. The male owner didn't cover his nose with mask. He did work kinda slow. Service was friendly. Cash only.
Benkyodo’s mochi is so soft, it’s almost as soft as my belly ;) You must get the Blueberry Mochi. Fresh juicy blueberries mixed in with smooth white bean paste, what a delightful combo that is! Skip the yomogi (can’t taste it) and peanut butter (not a good combo). CASH ONLY!
The regular mochi is a step above, but if you’re lucky enough to get there when they have one of the fruit ones - blueberry especially - it’s like whoa. As they’ll tell you, you can call ahead and reserve some. Also, the ambiance is so cool with the little 1950’s bar next to the counter and old Japanese people sitting around eating hot dogs.
Delicious and fresh mochis. Better check this out yourself, you won't regret anything. Highly recommended!
