Alight,[edit]

I understand why the Yukimi Daifuku article was made and mochi ice cream wasn't. It seems there's contradicting sources on who created mochi ice cream first. I was pretty sure it was Mikawaya, but Lotte claims a much earlier date. I'm gonna contact Mikawaya and see what distinctions (if any) are being made to claim creation of mochi ice cream over Lotte. If Lotte did invent mochi ice cream, then I feel this article might be redundant or a less accurate name than yukimi daifuku. Falsedef 10:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Lotte claims"? Lotte filed a trademark application for Yukimidaifuku with the Japan Patent Office on July 30, 1981 (application number: s56-64587; registration number: 1742355). You can easily verify this info with the Japan Patent Office. I am very offended that “mochi ice cream” has been categorized as California-born. Californiacondor 16:57, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, the mass-production methods were California born, no the actual thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by VoltairesDreamComeTrue (talk • contribs) 21:41, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How can anyone eat while on a toothpick?[edit]

Maybe it's the holidays, but part of me is just so downright tickled with this sentence:

Mochi ice cream can be considered finger food, or is eaten while on a toothpick.

...that I'm not even going to correct it. Happy holidays, y'all. rowley (talk) 19:59, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

About Place of origin & Creater[edit]

日本語で書かせていただきます。「Place of origin：Japan, United States」「Created by Frances Hashimoto」とありますが、それはUSA（アメリカ）で販売されたMochi iceがそうだということであって、元のオリジナルはロッテ（Lotte）が日本で1981年に発売した「雪見だいふく」です。Place of origin is「Japan」であり、Created by 「Lotte」とすべきです。--120.74.78.28 (talk) 04:17, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

同意。「Place of origin：United States」と書くのは、日本文化の盗用だ。It ’s the theft of Japanese culture.--221.187.116.35 (talk) 00:10, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

POV?[edit]

I don't know if this is very important, but "The filling greatly improves the overall flavor and taste" in the lead sounds more like a sales pitch than a neutral description of the product 曖昧模糊 (talk) 05:48, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
