Wow, this is the best packaged mochi/ddeok I've had! I ate one and then came here to review it. The castella coating is so soft and the whole rice cake is so soft, chewy, and not overly sweet at all. Other mochis at American stores have that artificial taste, but this one doesn't leave an aftertaste at all. It tastes very clean and delicious! Highly recommend, it's also the perfect serving size.
