Melody Genetics Melody Genetics | POP | Hamachi (SH)
“Hamachi” usually refers to the delicious, buttery yellowtail fish, but in cannabis, “Hamachi” or strains like Mochi, Rainbow Mochi, and Momochi are popular indica-dominant hybrids known for their sweet, fruity, minty, or earthy flavors and deeply relaxing, euphoric effects, often used for pain, stress, or insomnia.
Hamachi (Fish)
Type: Yellowtail (Shiromi).
Taste: Rich, buttery, slightly sweet, clean, with a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Origin: Popular in sushi, often farm-raised in the US.
Mochi / Hamachi-like Cannabis Strains
Flavor/Aroma: Sweet vanilla, mint, berry, fruity, nutty, earthy, with a sour mint exhale.
Effects: Euphoric lift, deep relaxation, creativity, sedation, good for stress, pain, and insomnia.
Appearance: Dense green buds with purple undertones, orange hairs, and sparkling trichomes.
Examples:
Mochi: Cross of Thin Mint GSC & Sunset Sherbet.
Rainbow Mochi: Tropical guava, citrus, herbal notes.
Momochi: Honeycomb cereal, mulled cider, kettle corn notes.
In short, if you see “Hamachi” on a sushi menu, it’s fish; if you see it with “Mochi” or as a strain name in cannabis, expect a sweet, relaxing hybrid.
