Issei Mochi Gummies is a mission-driven, innovation-forward brand founded by Mika Shino, a first-generation Japanese immigrant. This woman-owned and minority-owned company aims to create innovative, beautiful, healthy, and delicious foods that can make people happy while honoring their heritage. Their goal is to infuse more diversity and inclusion into the food sector and build bridges across cultures through food.

Inspired by the treasured ancient Japanese tradition of mochi treats, Issei Mochi Gummies are made with pure rice grains and mountain spring water. These shelf-stable, chewy, and natural candies offer a clean and pure snacking experience, free from gluten, nuts, dairy, soy, and GMOs. They are also completely vegan.

With a soft and pillowy texture that falls somewhere between a gummy bear and a marshmallow, Issei Mochi Gummies can be enjoyed straight from the package or paired with ice cream, yogurt, oatmeal, puddings, or your favorite dessert. Mika Shino, the founder of Issei Mochi Gummies, drew inspiration from her Japanese heritage and her love for food and cooking. Her vision of creating healthier foods for her family led to the creation of Issei Mochi Gummies.

Mika is a multi-talented individual with a background in cooking, publishing, and philosophy. She firmly believes in the cross-section of the arts and how they foster a depth of appreciation for all that is beautiful in life. Join Issei Mochi Gummies on their mission to make life sweeter, more inclusive, and kinder to our planet.
