REVIEW: We Found the Best NEW Disney Snack and It's Hiding in the Japan Pavilion

EPCOT is home to many incredible snacks, and now there’s ANOTHER ONE to add to the list!

EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion

Over in the Japan Pavilion, you’ll find Kabuki Cafe, which is a small stand that serves up shave ice and other special treats. We heard about a new special treat that just landed on the menu, combining two of our favorite treats, so we knew we had to try it. As it turns out, this new treat is everything we didn’t know we’d been waiting for!

The new snack here is called The Mochi-Gori, and it’s $12. This is a kakigori shaved ice with a Mochi-donut on top, topped with coconut crème sauce and whip cream.

For this price, you can select up to three flavors to add to the shave ice, and we chose Blue Hawaii, Cherry, and Grape. The donut on top is light and fluffy, but toasted enough on the outside to give it a really great texture. The coconut glaze really sells it, though, and ties it all together!

It’s amazing!

This is a very sweet snack, of course, but we loved that it was basically two in one. You had the pastry sweetness of the donut mixed with the icy sweetness of the shave ice, and it pairs fantastically together. We’d absolutely get it again!

The donut was everything!

We know when you think of EPCOT, you might think of the incredible food of the festivals, but don’t forget to check out the food booths that are there all year round, too. The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is starting on August 28th, so we like to take the time before a festival to try the restaurants we might be forgetting about!
