Two chewy chocolate treats are joining Tirol Choco's seasonal mochi lineup this fall: "Chocomochi" and "Kinakomochi," both arriving in five-piece bags at stores nationwide from Monday, September 7, 2026.
Product Features
Both new items pair the chewy bite of mochi gummy with chocolate, timed for the cooler months ahead. "Kinakomochi" combines toasty kinako (roasted soybean flour) chocolate with mochi gummy, while "Chocomochi" encases a molten chocolate sauce and mochi gummy inside a shell of plain chocolate. Each delivers a different flavor experience in a single bite-sized piece.
Kinakomochi: A Long-Running Best Seller
"Kinakomochi" pairs fragrant, toasty kinako chocolate with a chewy mochi gummy center. First launched in 2003, it sold 17 million pieces in its first five months and remains one of Tirol Choco's best-selling long-running flavors. The toasty kinako aroma spreads through the chocolate's mellow sweetness, and the mochi gummy's chewy texture rounds it out for a nostalgic, wagashi-like bite that's easy to keep reaching for.
Chocomochi: A Melting Chocolate Sauce Center
"Chocomochi" packs contrasting textures into a single piece: a smooth chocolate shell holding both a chewy mochi gummy and a molten sweet chocolate sauce. Biting in moves from a crisp shell to a chewy mochi center to a melting sauce, letting the chocolate's flavor and the mochi's chew come through together. It's an easy treat for a moment of downtime, combining chocolate sweetness with a satisfying chew.
