MOCHIDOKI
Broadwayworld.com recently had the pleasure of attending a virtual event where we learned all about Mochidoki, the nationally renowned, New York-based, mochi ice cream company, beloved for their imaginative and refined Japanese-inspired desserts. The company is currently celebrating the first anniversary of their brick and mortar shop in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan as they continue to grow in popularity nationwide.
The virtual program was led by Christopher Wong, the Co-Founder and Director of Marketing and Design for Mochidoki. He shared the origins and history of mochi and mochi ice cream and how it is made. The Japanese-inspired delicacy is made by wrapping premium ice cream in a thin layer of chewy mochi rice cake. This combination creates a unique and irresistible treat.
Christopher Wong spearheads Mochidoki's unique presence in the market with experience in brand creation and management across channels from copy, illustration and photography, to website design, graphics, and more. He also leads Mochidoki's brick-and-mortar build-outs. As a lifelong mochi enthusiast and consumer, he also oversees culinary operations including seasonal flavor development, and innovation around Mochidoki SoHo's menu of retail-only Mochi Creations.
