There’s window paper up on the corner spot at 1133 Montana Ave in Santa Monica announcing that a new frozen confection spot is moving in.  Mochidoki offers high-quality mochi ice cream and was founded in New York in 2015 where they still operate two locations.  This will be the first West Coast outpost.  Their menu consists of “imaginative and refined Japanese-inspired desserts” in such flavors as red bean, cake batter, and salted caramel.  According to their website, they are the “preferred provider” of mochi ice cream to such establishments as Nobu, Tao, and others.
