Tasted Sweetness, Sparked Greatness
Back in 2019, during a visit to Seattle, I (Ethan) discovered something that completely changed how I looked at desserts. My aunt had taken me to a small mochi donut shop — and what caught my attention wasn’t just how good the donuts tasted, but the line of people out the door, all waiting to buy boxes of them. They weren’t just purchasing a treat; they were experiencing something special.
Having grown up around family-owned donut shops, I’d seen firsthand how something as simple as a donut could bring people together. But this experience made me realize that even the familiar can become something greater when reimagined with creativity.
That moment sparked the idea for Domochi (Donut + Mochi), a brand built on transformation and inspiration. If a simple donut could become something extraordinary, then maybe it could inspire people to see that they can too.
Today, Domochi exists to share that feeling of turning sweetness into something meaningful. Every donut we make is crafted to bring joy, connect communities, and remind people that greatness often starts with small, simple moments.
