Two bags of cut mochi (about 400g, 6 pieces each) arrive as about 800g in all, and each bag is scored into 6 pieces. It arrives by mail delivery (meru-bin), and specifying a delivery date and time, cash on delivery, noshi (gift wrapping label) and gift wrapping are not available (product name and checkout screen).
