Favorite Things: J.J. Sweet Shop

Talk about a guilty pleasure!!!  A few weeks ago a friend introduced me to J.J. Sweet Shop which is this magical Korean bakery that makes the most amazing looking and tasting pastries, breads, and my favorite item. . . MOCHI!  Mochi is actually a Japanese item that is made with rice dough.  This dough is often stretched and stuffed with different fillings like gelato, sweet red bean, or my new favorite from J.J.'s cake with fresh fruit and thick whipped cream.  There is the strawberry mochi which is like strawberry shortcake inside mochi dough and then they have mango and green tea flavors.  They are amazingly good and I've never seen them sold this way anywhere else.  J.J. Sweet's mochi are definitely now one of my favorite things. We don't go often (calorie issues!!!) but we will be stopping by on Valentine's Day!!!
