🎉 Big News: Issei Mochi Gummies Turns 3! 🎉
What started in Mika Shino’s kitchen as a mom’s wish to create better treats for her kids has blossomed into something beyond what we ever imagined. Today, Issei celebrates its 3-year anniversary with a bold rebrand, new flavors, a bigger size, and a recipe we're more proud of than ever.
✨ What’s New:
-
Bright, colorful packaging that pops on shelves but still feels like “us”
-
A new 4 oz bag (more gummies, more joy!)
-
New flavors + an improved recipe with a softer, more supple chew and bolder flavor
🚀 In just 3 years, Issei has grown nearly 3,000% in retail and is now found in over 5,000 stores nationwide — from Target and Walmart to Whole Foods and World Market — plus Amazon, TikTok Shop, and more
🏆 Along the way, we’ve been humbled by recognition from Inc. Magazine, Success Magazine, Sweets & Snacks Expo, Nourish Awards, TasteTV, FoodBev Media, ExpoWest, and others.
But more than awards or growth, what matters most is our mission: honoring the Japanese tradition of mochi while reimagining candy to be joyful, inclusive, and better for you.
To everyone who has supported us on this journey — thank you. We can’t wait to share what’s next. 💛
