A British dessert put inside a Japanese rice dough, which is a long way from where mochi started. Cheesecake as an ice cream flavour is mostly about acidity. Cream cheese is soured, and that tang is what stops a sweet dairy base becoming flat, which is the same reason a real cheesecake needs lemon or a sharp fruit on top. Raspberry doubles down on that. It holds both colour and flavour when frozen, and against a soft neutral dough it's the only thing in the piece providing any sharpness at all. It's the only flavour in the mochi range built on a named dessert rather than on a single fruit or nut.
