Thank you for visiting our website! Our December calendar is full — we do have gift certificates available for purchase (please order several days in advance of needed date). Please keep us in mind for 2009! The next available date for mochi orders is Tuesday, January 7.
May you have a wonderful holiday season!
Happy Hearts is participating in this year’s Family Fun Fair at Leeward Community College. This year, they’re having a farmer’s market section showcasing local products. There will also be food from LECC’s culinary arts program.
We are taking pre-orders (until thursday afternoon) for those of you who want something other than assorted 3-pks. ($9 each) or who want to specify specific flavors or flavor combinations. In addition to the regular flavors, kuri will be available, as well as the pumpkin haupia. Quantities are limited. Because we’ll be at Leeward, we will not be taking orders for mochi pick-ups at the mochi house that day.
Come and say ‘hi!’ Hope to see you there! =)
***Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table!!! =)
Thank you to everyone who stopped by this morning! The response was overwhelming and we had not quite anticipated the demand for our mochi to be so high — and sold out before lunch! We will make sure to have more on hand next week tuesday, so please come again and say ‘hello!’ =) I will be bringing in a limited number of fresh samplers daily throughout the fair, so even if you can’t make it when we’re there on tuesday, they will be available for sale. For those of you who want to place orders for items other than the samplers, we can have them available for pick up at the mochi house. Mahalo for visiting our website & for supporting Happy Hearts!!! =)
We will have our 4-pc samplers for sale at Shirokiya through the end of August. We will still be taking regular orders for pick-up at the mochi house as well. =)
I understand that circumstances arise where someone is unable to pick-up their order. It helps if we are contacted as soon as they know they won’t be able to, so we can make other arrangements to enable others to enjoy the mochi I so painstakingly made. Happy Hearts has been fortunate to have so many wonderful customers that this is the first time in our ten plus years that someone has been a no-show. Auwe to Mrs. Debbie Shibata of #283-****. Honestly, I’m more hurt than anything else, as I went out of my way to make awesome party platters with lots of hand-picked strawberries and even a bento box for your graduate. Should you ever decide to place an order in the future, it will need to be paid for prior to your pick-up date.
Mahalo to everyone who purchased the extra mochi!!! I am SO relieved they found happy homes! =)
For all you procrastinators (that includes me…), I have a limited supply of kuri for kuri mochi this week, perfect for mother’s day. Emi’s mommy LOVES our kuri mochi - a whole candied chestnut with an and sprinkled with kinako. You can order them by themselves ($3/pc) or substitute them in any of the bento trays at no extra cost.
Have you made plans for Mother’s Day yet? You’ll be able to find wonderful items for mom AND help several awesome charitable organizations as well at the Bead Gallery’s Charity Fair this weekend. While our mochi will not last ’til Mother’s Day, we will have mochi available for you to enjoy there. You can also bid for Happy Hearts gift certificates at the silent auction! Speaking of Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11 is already booked. We do have some space left for Saturday, May 10, so if you want mochi for your mommy, let us know soon! =)
***Thank you to everyone who came out to the fair!!! With your help, Happy Hearts was able to donate more than $500 and together with the other Bead Gallery friends, were able to raise more than $14,000 for the Kapiolani Breast Health Center and the Kukui Children’s Foundation!***
I just got some wonderfully delicious strawberries from Maui! Fresh strawberry mochi will be available at The Alley (Aiea Bowl) this weekend. Have a wonderful Easter!!!
Shirokiya is holding an Island Fair, going on now through March 23, where you can find tasty island treats from across the state — including Happy Hearts Mochi!
In addition to picking up a sampler at Shirokiya, you can still place custom orders for pick-up at the mochi house.
Congratulations to Adele T. of Honolulu — our grand prize winner for our Watanabe Floral Girl’s Day drawing. Adele and all the other contest winners will receive their prizes in the mail. I’d also like to extend a big mahalo to everyone who stopped by to see us on Girl’s Day!
