Ah, I see what you mean. That is still "も", just in a more stylised, calligraphy-esque font. Basically the も just has a long tail:) A bit like this (the one on the right).
Maybe you've checked this out already but according to the link you found (well done on that by the way!) it is a "Sogo Sweet Rice Cake" from Taiwan. Sogo is actually a Japanese department store, but they also have branches in other countries (including Taiwan). So I guess the product was manufactured by Sogo, but aimed at the Taiwan market (hence the mix of Japanese and Chinese elements in the packaging). Even the flavour itself is probably no accident as mango is a much more common flavour/ingredient in Taiwan than in Japan.
Finally I must say that all the reviews of this thing are very positive, and is making me want to try it:)) But sadly it seems like it's not available any more.. in case you do happen to find it for sale anywhere be sure to let me know:)
EDIT: Just found these on Amazon. Doesn't say "Ri-no-mochi" but if you look carefully there are many similar design elements - wonder if it's the same product, just had a makeover. Also listed as "currently unavailable", but a couple of people in the comments mention you can also get it at Costco. So might be worth having a look there!
