Emily's honest take
Mama, you can typically enjoy mochi while you're pregnant! Guidelines indicate that mochi, which is made from cooked glutinous rice flour, and store-bought mochi ice cream, generally use pasteurized dairy, making them safe options. The main concerns during pregnancy with many foods are often related to unpasteurized ingredients or raw components, which are usually not an issue with commercially prepared mochi.
As always, it's a good idea to check with your OB for any specific dietary concerns you might have.
