Frequently Asked Questions

You can place an order by calling us, visiting in person, or sending a message through our Contact page. We recommend pre-ordering for large quantities, fruit mochi, and special items like Yomogi to guarantee availability.

Walk-ins are always welcome! However, popular items — especially strawberry and seasonal fruit mochi — tend to sell out early. Pre-ordering is strongly recommended if you have your heart set on something specific or are ordering for a group.

Everything is made fresh daily — never frozen. Fruit mochi in particular (especially strawberry) is best enjoyed the same day it's made. Mochi is softest and most flavorful within the first 24 hours.

Taiyaki — our coconut milk flavored fish-shaped baked confection — is available on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Quantities are limited, so we recommend arriving early or calling ahead.

Yomogi (mugwort) mochi requires a minimum pre-order of 12 pieces and must be ordered in advance. It's a traditional favorite and worth the planning — earthy, fragrant, and unlike anything else we make.

Yes! We're happy to accommodate custom and bulk orders for events, weddings, corporate gifts, and omiyage. Please contact us as early as possible — ideally a week or more in advance — to ensure we can fulfill your order.

We don't ship — our mochi is made fresh daily and is best savored in person. A trip to Hilo to pick it up is half the experience! Many visitors plan their Big Island itinerary around a stop at Two Ladies Kitchen.

Mochi is a soft, chewy confection made from glutinous rice, usually filled with sweet bean paste (an) or whole fruit. Manju is a baked Japanese sweet with a tender golden crust — think of it as a soft pastry filled with the same sweet fillings. Both are delicious and both are made here daily.
