Age.3, a specialty fried sandwich shop known for its innovative sweets, has brought the trending Dubai Choco Mochi from Korea to its Harajuku location in Tokyo. This unique dessert, famous on Korean social media for its intriguing “crunchy and mochi” texture, is now available in two flavors: chocolate and matcha, starting July 2, 2026.
Visitors to Japan seeking new and exciting dessert experiences will appreciate this fusion of Middle Eastern sweets, Korean cafe culture, and traditional Japanese wagashi. The Dubai Choco Mochi is reconstructed using “gyuhi,” a Japanese soft mochi made from rice, sugar, and water without gelatin, giving it a light and delicate mouthfeel. The dessert’s signature crunch comes from fried kadaif, a shredded pastry, skillfully prepared by Age.3’s frying experts to achieve a crispy texture.
About Age.3 and Dubai Choco Mochi
Originally from Fukuoka’s Kama city, Age.3 started as a sweets brand called FRUITS SAND THREE before expanding with a new fried sandwich concept in Ginza, Tokyo. The brand has grown internationally with stores in Sydney, Dubai, Manila, and Shanghai. Age.3’s expertise in frying techniques allows it to uniquely recreate the Dubai Choco Mochi by frying the kadaif to a perfect crunch, combined with the soft chewiness of gyuhi mochi and rich hazelnut chocolate.


Highlights
- The Dubai Choco Mochi combines soft gyuhi mochi with crunchy fried kadaif and hazelnut chocolate.
- Two flavors available: classic chocolate dusted with cocoa powder and matcha finished with matcha powder for a bittersweet taste.
- The dessert can be enjoyed frozen for a refreshing summer treat or warmed for a melty, gooey texture.
- Made without gelatin, using traditional Japanese gyuhi for a lighter and less calorie-dense alternative to marshmallow-based sweets.
- Available now at Age.3 Harajuku, expanding from its original Kama location.
