About The Mochi Shop

The Mochi Shop is a family-owned bakery in Columbus, Ohio, founded by Kaori Becker and Junna Kanazawa.
Kaori is a professional home cook, instructor, and author of Mochi Magic. With years of experience making mochi, she brings together traditional techniques and modern flavors to create desserts that are both nostalgic and new.
Junna is a professional nail technician at Penzone Salons and a talented food stylist with a keen eye for design. Her creativity helps shape the look and feel of each dessert, making every piece as beautiful as it is delicious.
Together, they launched The Mochi Shop with a simple idea: to share the joy of mochi in new and exciting ways—from traditional daifuku to freshly baked mochi donuts.

“We are moms who love food, and who love sharing delicious and unique treats with those that we love, especially our daughters!”
We are dedicated to satisfying your Japanese mochi sweet cravings through providing new and unique flavored mochi and mochi donuts, with a high standard of quality and integrity. We hope to provide you a comforting, delicious and exciting experience with our mochi treats!
