The baker’s daughter bringing mochi to the mainstream

from Business Daily · host BBC World Service

We meet the creator of a dessert business whose story starts in her parents’ bakery. Vivien Wong tells us how she faced a family loss and eventually channelled that experience into building a company making mochi with a twist: taking a traditional Japanese rice cake and wrapping it around balls of ice cream. She shares how she turned a niche treat into a global brand, Little Moons.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is [email protected]: Rahul Tandon Producers: Niamh McDermott, Victoriya Holland and Jay Behrouzi(Picture: Vivien Wong.
