Issei—the world’s first mochi candy brand—is unveiling three limited-edition flavors for the holiday season: Dark Chocolate–Covered Cherry Mochi Gummies, Dark Chocolate–Covered Coconut Mochi Gummies, and Dark Chocolate–Covered Peppermint Mochi Gummies.  

Two of the three flavors, Cherry and Coconut, will be available exclusively at Sprouts Farmers Market through the retailer’s limited-time Forager program from December to February, while Peppermint will launch nationwide at Sprouts, Haggen, and online for the holidays.  

Each flavor pairs Issei’s mochi texture with a dark chocolate shell:  

• Dark Chocolate–Covered Cherry Mochi Gummies: A juicy, tart cherry mochi center wrapped in dark chocolate, echoing the classic cherry cordial in a modern, chewy format, the brand says.
• Dark Chocolate–Covered Coconut Mochi Gummies: A creamy coconut mochi interior coated in smooth dark chocolate.
• Dark Chocolate–Covered Peppermint Mochi Gummies: A fresh peppermint mochi center encased in dark chocolate.

“We are excited to expand our flavor universe with something bold, joyful, and completely new for this seasonal offering,” says Mika Shino, founder and CEO of Issei. “Each of these flavors brings its own personality—peppermint for festive nostalgia, cherry for bold indulgence, and coconut for creamy comfort. We are excited to launch all three this year and to partner with Sprouts to offer two exclusive Forager flavors.”  

These limited-edition confections are gluten-free, soy-free, gelatin-free, and made with natural flavors and colors.
