Where to buy warabimochi in Singapore
It seems like the mochi trend is here to stay for a while longer. In this guide, we’ve rounded up the best warabimochi shops in Singapore, from a famous Japanese chain to an online store with free delivery.
In case you didn’t know, warabimochi is different from regular mochi, as it’s made with the starch of the bracken plant—also known as warabi—instead of glutinous rice or mochi flour, resulting in a softer, more jelly-like texture.

1. Warabimochi Kamakura
Japan-famous Warabimochi Kamakura made waves when they arrived on our shores in February at One Holland Village. Now, the popular chain boasts three outlets islandwide, including one at Taste Orchard and another at Takashimaya Shopping Centre. You can get their warabimochi in a 2-Piece Cup ($3.90),  5-Piece Box ($7.90) or 10-Piece Box ($14.90). There’s also the option of enjoying it with Ice Cream ($5.90) and kuromitsu syrup AKA Okinawan black sugar syrup. FYI: the warabimochi here is made with 100% bracken starch, resulting in a smoother and lighter texture.
