Founder of Issei -
Everyone loves candies. Especially my kids. And they have a special affinity for chewy candies. They were always asking for gummy bears, sour gummies, gummy worms. But I was always frustrated by how much junk they contained - buying chemical and artificial laden candies made with animal-derived gelatin did not make me feel good as a parent. I thought there had to be a better way for my children to have something they loved - a chewy candy - without all the bad stuff.
So I started to experiment with the time-honored tradition of mochi cakes at home, baking them longer, adding different ingredients, drawing from my own Japanese heritage and relying on the chewy texture of rice flour. They were a huge hit with my kids and their friends, and Issei Mochi Gummies was born.
I hope these little morsels will bring joy to you and to your family.
