Grand Castella’s New Coconut Mochi Castella: A Sweet Delight for Summer 2026

Taiwan's beloved castella brand, GRAND CASTELLA, is celebrating its fifth anniversary in Japan by launching a new summer-exclusive treat: the Coconut Mochi Castella. Following the immense success of their previous hit, the Peanut Mochi Castella, this new dessert promises to entice with unique flavors and textures, making it a must-try for dessert lovers. Starting July 1st and available until July 31st, this new creation is perfect for those looking to indulge in deliciously innovative sweets.

A Sensational Follow-Up

The first sensation, the Peanut Mochi Castella, took the dessert world by storm when it debuted in April 2026, being featured across news outlets and social media. It quickly became a sought-after item, often selling out and requiring restocks. Building on this momentum, GRAND CASTELLA introduces the Coconut Mochi Castella, offering a different taste experience while still embracing the essence of their stretchy mochi series.

A Unique Combination of Flavors and Textures

The new Coconut Mochi Castella is crafted using a rich homemade kaya (coconut) sauce made from simmered coconut milk. This sauce brings an intense sweetness and a toasted aroma that is reminiscent of traditional Southeast Asian desserts. Complementing the kaya is a generous addition of roasted coconut flakes, adding a delightful crunch that contrasts perfectly with the chewy mochi layers. This combination of textures – crispy, chewy, and fluffy – satisfies the modern craving for multi-dimensional desserts.

Pricing and Availability

The Coconut Mochi Castella is priced at 2,390 yen (including tax 2,582 yen). As a special treat for the 5th anniversary celebration, customers can also enjoy a Half & Half special that includes both the popular Peanut Mochi and the new Coconut Mochi castellas. This offer is limited in quantity, making it a rare opportunity to taste both variants side by side.

Increased Demand Expected

Given the high demand during the previous release of the Peanut Mochi Castella, which saw overwhelming orders and ongoing sell-outs, the new Coconut Mochi Castella is expected to follow suit. Fans are encouraged to order early to avoid disappointment. The Half & Half option not only caters to those who can’t choose between the two flavors but also celebrates the cultural fusion that GRAND CASTELLA embodies.

Where to Get Your Sweet Fix

You can find GRAND CASTELLA’s treats at their flagship store located in Tokyo Skytree Solamachi with operating hours from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM and at Yokohama Takashimaya, also from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Be sure to visit early to snag your share of these delicious mochi castellas!

In this season of delight, the Coconut Mochi Castella is more than just a dessert; it’s an experience that combines the joy of childhood with the sophistication of modern sweets. Don’t miss your chance to indulge in this new culinary adventure from GRAND CASTELLA!
