Sugar rush at Shmochi by Shibuiow

Get ready, Adelaide—something sweet is coming! Shmochi by Shibui is opening in St Peters on Thursday, 15 May 2025, bringing mochi donuts, soft serves, and specialty ice creams to town.

Known for their viral festival treats, the Shibui team is finally giving their famous mochi donuts a permanent home.

Previously only available at festivals, these chewy, melt-in-your-mouth donuts became too popular to ignore. Now, with a dedicated kitchen, Chef Quang Nguyen, his wife Thy Nguyen, and bestie Lisa Chao can roll them out daily—alongside creative soft serves and ice creams blending Asian heritage with Aussie nostalgia.

The mochi donut recipe? A tightly kept secret. But the flavours? Expect Asian-inspired delights like ube, taro, and pandan, alongside Aussie throwbacks like Allen’s Red Ripperz ice cream.

Shmochi isn’t just about desserts—it’s about fun. The space mixes bright colours, a refined yet playful feel, and a casual takeaway vibe with the option to sit and indulge.

Whether you’re after an Insta-worthy donut or an adventurous ice cream scoop, Shmochi might just be your new sweet obsession.
