You can enjoy a different flavor experience from coffee jelly
I removed the lid. Inside were a rather large, black, round warabi mochi, pure white whipped cream, and a cherry. (There’s also more warabi mochi under the whipped cream.)
The red cherry adds a nice accent.
The soft and chewy warabi mochi has a subtle sweetness and a strong coffee aroma. The fluffy and light whipped cream has just the right amount of richness and milkiness, perfectly matching the coffee warabi mochi.
Before eating it, I imagined it would taste like coffee jelly, but the chewy texture was truly that of warabi mochi, allowing me to enjoy a different kind of deliciousness from coffee jelly.
What are the reviews on SNS?
When we checked out reviews of the product on social media, we found a variety of comments:
- “It’s a little strange, but delicious!”
- “It’s the best Seven Sweets I’ve had in a while.”

- “I should eat it every day.”
- “Seven’s coffee warabi mochi is good.”
- “It’s different from regular coffee jelly because it doesn’t have the bitterness of coffee.”

Although it’s not a highly popular sweet, the reviews are quite positive, and those who have tried it seem highly satisfied.
Conclusion
Coffee-flavored sweets and warabi mochi are not uncommon, but combining the two creates an exceptionally delicious treat! I think it’s perfect not only as a 3 o’clock snack but also as a dessert after a meal.
