- The vine fruit flavor gets overpowered by an artificial sweetness.
- The taste just doesn't live up to the price.

Editor's Summary
I'm a bit underwhelmed with Fix Price's vine fruit muscat mochi. The packaging looks great, but the taste doesn't quite live up to the price. I've tried a few different flavors from Fix Price, and while some were okay, this one's a total letdown. The vine fruit flavor gets lost under an artificial sweetness that's just not my thing. If you're a fan of sweet treats, you might enjoy this, but for me, it's not worth the 279 ruble price tag.
Specifications
Hello everyone!
I've been on a mochi kick lately, and Fix Price has been my go-to store for these Japanese treats. I've tried a few different flavors, and while the green tea matcha was a bit too strong for my taste, the mango was okay, if a bit too sweet. Recently, I picked up the vine fruit muscat flavor.
Here are the details:
Price - 279 rubles. Weight - 120 grams. Shelf life - 300 days. Manufactured in - Japan. Where I bought it - Fix Price.
The packaging is really nice - a flow pack with an attractive design that showcases the product. It's a great way to present the mochi.
On the back, there's a sticker with detailed information in Russian. I wish it were in English too - it would make it easier for non-Russian speakers like me to understand.
Here are the ingredients:
Syrup glucose (produced in Japan), sugar, rice flour, starch, vine fruit muscat / emulsifier, flavoring, colorants (yellow #4, blue #1) (contains dairy components).
And here's the nutritional information for 100g:

I picked up this vine fruit muscat mochi from Fix Price for 279 rubles. It's a bit pricey, but I was curious to try it out.
The mochi comes in a nice flow pack with an attractive design. Each piece is individually wrapped in a transparent package, which is a nice touch.
The mochi itself has a light greenish color, close to the vine fruit muscat. The starch coating is not visible, but it's there, as the mochi are not sticky.
The texture is soft but still elastic and holds its shape. If you pull it, the mochi can be easily divided into two parts. It's similar to jelly-like dough, and it's fun to mold.
The only downside is that there's no filling, which is a bit of a bummer.
The taste is pleasant - moderately sweet, fruity, and the vine fruit is well-perceived. The taste seemed less chemical to me than the aroma. The mochi don't stick to your teeth, and they're easy to chew. I didn't notice any unpleasant aftertaste, but I still want to drink water after eating them.
I've been eating these mochi for a week now, and I have to say, they're a decent treat. However, in my opinion, the price is too high. You can buy it once, but not more than that.
Thanks for reading!
