Each unit features 30 pieces of meticulously crafted rice balls, boasting a soft, chewy rice exterior and a rich, nutty black sesame filling. The unique persimmon shape is an homage to Chinese culture, where the fruit is a powerful symbol of good fortune, happiness, and prosperity. This combination of tradition and visual appeal makes the product both a festive centerpiece for holiday meals and a thoughtful, giftable item for Costco members.
“At Synear, we believe food is a bridge between cultures,” said Judy Zhu, CEO of Synear Foods USA. “Our Persimmon-Shaped Sticky Rice Balls are more than just a dessert; they are a celebration of togetherness and prosperity. By combining our 30 years of heritage in traditional rice-based foods with a symbolic design, we are thrilled to bring a taste of authentic Chinese New Year traditions to Costco members in a format that is both festive and approachable.”
The product is designed for modern convenience, requiring only five minutes of preparation. While traditionally served warm in a sweet soup, the versatile rice balls can also be paired creatively with coconut milk, ice cream, or fresh fruit. With a suggested retail price of $13.39, the value-sized pack is specifically designed for sharing during the busy Lunar New Year season.
