Mikawaya
Mikawaya has the most authentic flavors on the market. It's got the most iconic tastes you'd find in Japan, like red bean and matcha. The texture is rich with a gorgeous powder shell. This brand is so authentic you probably won't find it at Target—you'll likely have to visit your local Asian market.
My Mochi
My Mochi might be the most accessible brand on this list by far. We see it at every Target. At first, you'd only find the standard flavors, but they've expanded their roster with unique offerings, like Cereal & Milk. And if you love tart flavors, you'll appreciate their new Sorbet collection.
Sundae Shoppe
Not in the mood to leave your couch? Simply open your Instacart app to get this brand delivered straight to your door. They've got everything you'd wish for from other brands, whether it's mango or coconut, for less than $5 each.
