Tokyo Sweets: Signature Seal Pup Mochi

Japanese food has been trendy in Thailand. In some trendy shopping mall, there were more Japanese restaurants than Thai ones. A recent addition was a confectionery shop Tokyo Sweets. The menu included strawberry daifuku, mochi cream, mochiese, mizu suishyo mochi, and tiramisu.

One of the signature sweet, Mochi Mochi (seal pup-shaped mochi), were so very cute and reminded me of the seel Pokemon. The skin colors indicated the filling - white for red beans, pale pink for raspberry or strawberry and pale lavender for sweet potatoes. There was a new chocolate bear which was similar to seals but had legs.

These adorable seal pup mocha are well-accepted. When the shops were reviewed, there were inevitably video clips about the pup murdering methods, usually biting or clean cutting from the head or tail. For me, they were very popular as gifts and presents to children and ladies.


There were Tokyo Sweet shops and counters in several department stores, e.g. Siam Paragon, Isetan at Central World, EmQuatier and Emporium Department Stores on the Rama I and Sukhumvit roads in the central Bangkok areas, etc. However, the seal mochi was at first available at the Cafe at Soi Chula 50 in Sam Yan, where I usually went. In my opinion, the sweets were best eaten with the free hot green tea as the cold drinks were too sweet. The overwhelming impression was the pleasant atmosphere with overloaded cuteness.


The Chula 50 cafe was a short walk the Sam Yan MRT Station; This route skirted 3 Pokemon gyms. The Thailand-Japan Friendship Bridge Memorial and Tai Xia Huk Choe Shrine gyms were located next to another near the station while the third gym at the U-Center was near the cafe. These gyms were well frequented by trainers. For legendary raids, ones could usually raid the bosses if arrived at gyms before eggs hatched. Trainers generally were able to communicate in English quite well as many worked at the nearby business district or being students and staff at the University.
