The five stars goes to Kim, the hostess with the winning smile. She was such a sweetheart and she answered all of our questions! The mochi flavors that she recommended were amazing. Each mochi had a subtle taste in the beginning and a blast of deliciousness in the center. Thanks for the great service Kim, will definitely come back!

Reviews for this place can also be found under «Royce» (yep, another «double listed» business on Unilocal). This store is located inside Mitsuwa next to the food court. This review is only for the mochi creams and not for the Royce brand chocolate sold here.
I stopped by here a couple months ago after doing some shopping at Mitsuwa; it was something like 10:58am and they are scheduled to open at 11am. There were two workers behind the counter and I asked to purchase a few mochi creams. «We’re not open yet.» So I left.
After eating at the food court tonight I decided to get a couple mochi creams for dessert. I purchased two: a chocolate and a caramel pudding. The employee was pleasant but never spoke a word except to tell me my total.
The creams were individually wrapped and visually appealing, especially the dark dusting over the chocolate one. The chocolate was too frozen to bite into initially so I waited a bit. It was okay — the chocolate flavor was too mild. The caramel pudding was excellent. The mochi was soft and the caramel was sweet and vibrant in flavor.
A good but somewhat pricey treat.

This review is for the mochicream alone. I haven’t even tried too many of the flavors. But I am obsessed with the chocolate banana one. It’s divine. I’m not a real sweets person to begin with, so I love that the mochi is covered in a dark, dusty, bitter chocolate. The banana flavor is slight and fresh and not at all overwhelming. Whenever I go to J Sweet, I make sure I purchase at least 3 of these little guys and reward myself throughout the next week with them. They keep really well in the freezer and just require 10 minutes to defrost.
I’ve also tried the green tea mochi. Pretty mild in flavor, but pleasant. My boyfriend likes the raspberry one okay, but he doesn’t crave these like I do.
My favorite part? Using the dark chocolate powder as a lipstick after I’m done. Very vampy. Almost like MAC’s Diva lipstick. ;) I mean, you can’t beat that deal, right?

Royce is the most wondetful chocolate I have ever had!!! Although the price is much more expensive than it in Japan (3 times as the price in Japan), I still love it! The fruit bar is great too, but I don’t quite like the chocolate chips very much. Mochi doesn’t worth to try.

I’ve had mochi before, but this was my first mochi cream. The Black Sesame, was filled with, as the salesperson described, a (frozen) whipped cream; I enjoyed the textures of the exterior mochi paired with the fluffy whipped cream center. The Caramel mochi was more like leche flan, with a thin caramelized sugar syrup center. Each mochi is attractively and individually packaged. Perhaps I have unrefined mochi taste buds, but I prefer the Mikawaya Mochi that I can get at the store.
The person who helped me at J Sweet was very friendly, pleasant, approachable, and helpful.

I first had Royce chocolate in Tokyo, and I have been craving for it ever since. Royce is a premium chocolate brand from Hokkaido Japan. There is a dedicated Royce location in New York. I believe all West Coast Royce Chocolates are located inside J Sweet. This is the first time I have seen it in California. I heard J Sweet San Jose carries Royce as well. I wouldn’t put it in the same league as La Masion du Chocolat, but Royce is definitely high quality. The selection is small, which could be a negative for some. The packaging is somewhat cumbersome, and the the chocolates require refrigeration. The main attraction is the balanced flavor and smooth silkiness. I believe the green tea flavor is very popular, but I personally prefer the milk and dark chocolates. It’s definitely a must try for chocolate lover.
