Stuck on mochi? Here’s our 2022 review of three Honolulu mochi shops. Nisshodo’s hours are indeed until 2 p.m., and Minamoto Kitchoan’s buy-six-get-one-free sakura mochi special is on again this year.
Update: Kansai Yamato has relocated to Puck’s Alley at 1035 University Ave. and is NOT at the former Moanalua 99 site.
