London’s best Mochi balls, from Bone Daddies to Nobu

Mochi balls have won themselves celebrity fans including Harry Styles and Heidi Klum. Susannah Butter tracks down the best in the capital
Eastern promise: Japanese mochi balls

These sticky rice balls are big in Japan. Harry Styles and Heidi Klum are both self-declared mochi monsters and London does a range with everything from ice cream to cheese — truly amaze balls.

Bone Daddies

Lemon, sesame or chocolate orbs courtesy of popular Japanese brand Little Moons, with ice cream at the centre — the perfect way to round off a steaming bowl of ramen.

Info: £4, across London, bonedaddies.com

Bo Lang

The dim sum here may be excellent but if you can exercise some restraint the reward is worth it — black sesame, yuzu and green tea mochi are the ideal balance of sweet and savoury.

Info: £7.20, 100 Draycott Avenue, SW3 3AD, bolangrestaurant.co.uk

Feng Sushi

Sweet, hardcore dessert mochi, in either chocolate or cheesecake flavour. They’re so small and delicate that there’s no harm in trying both.

Info: £2.75, across London, fengsushi.co.uk
