This is the second location for the restaurant, but it should be noted this is separately owned and operated.

For the record, I was invited to a private soft opening where guests were treated to complimentary mochi donuts, Korean corn dogs and beverages. Fortunately, I’ve already covered the original Mochinut location in east Wichita and knew what to expect.

If you’ve never had a mochi donut, it’s a combination of an American donut and a Japanese mochi. And if you’ve never had mochi, it’s a sweet and sticky ice cream that is basically a rice cake formed to a small, bite-sized confection with a chewy, smooth, elastic texture. From there, eight mochi balls are fried to create a donut-shaped pastry that offers a light, crispy exterior with a soft, chewy inside with the donut’s signature hole in the middle.

There will always be a handful of flavors to choose from during your visit.

Another addition is the boba which comes in a seltzer like can, complete with a lid. The concept is nice as it’s portable and easier to order on the go.

Then there’s the Korean corn dogs which are gaining more and more popularity throughout Wichita. But those who live out west should be happy to know there’s a location closer to their side of town.

For the soft opening, Mochinut will be open August 12-16 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Then on Saturday, August 17, Mochinut will celebrate their grand opening.

Here’s the menu:

Happy Dining,
