Rice Culture

We are so lucky to have this gem in our area. The Taiyaki is amazing - I love that ability to get both traditional and rotating seasonal flavors. I recently ordered off of their Chinese new year menu, and cannot say enough wonderful things about the Taiwanese pineapple cakes and fried sesame balls. The team is friendly and the portions were much larger than I expected for the price.

Rice Culture utilizes Frontier Kitchen. They made boxes of Asian deserts for Lunar New Year and I was lucky enough to get a box.

It came with small batch pineapple cakes in 3 flavors - regular, matcha and strawberry. I've had the regular so far and practically inhaled it cause it's delicious!

I've also had the sesame balls. They have it in red bean, ube and matcha. All yummy but that ube is so good!

They also have mini butter mochi muffs and full size mochi muffins. The regular size are in ube and matcha flavors. The mini butter muffs remind me of baked nian gao. Yummy!

Looking forward to more from Rice Culture! If you have an opportunity to order from them or find them at a local farmers market, get some!

Absolutely love Rice culture! I love the different fillings they offer for their Taiyaki; black sesame and Nutty De leche are my favorite. I recently tried their graham floats and I honestly can't say which I like more between the strawberry and peach/mango. The buko pandan is also bomb. You can't go wrong with anything you choose here :)

We were a bit confused on where this place was located. It’s basically a ghost kitchen in a warehouse area but google maps will take you to where it is. It is located inside “Frontier Kitchen”. You need to order ahead online and either pick it up by ringing the door bell or have them take it to your car.

Besides that, these taiyakis were bomb! I wish we got more because they are truly addicting. We tried the ube jam and Oreo fillings, amazing!

Wondering where you can find your taiyaki fix in Northern VA?? Rice Culture got you! I've always wanted to try taiyaki but had no idea where to even find them here, until now!

They serve several different taiyaki fillings ~ red bean, vanilla custard, sesame custard, nutella, and cream cheese, and occasional release new limited time flavors. They also sell rice pudding ~ original, ube, and Champorado. Their prices are SUCH A STEAL! I definitely recommend ordering online ahead of time before they sell out for the day.

I got to try a majority of their flavors, some of my faves were the nutella, vanilla custard, ube jam, and matcha ones. Plus I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEIR UBE RICE PUDDING! Everything was so yummy, I could honestly eat an entire box and serving in one sitting. I can't wait to order more from them in the future!
