[littofroggy]

i love mochi with miso or with redbean!

anything else, i dont like. esp. ice cream, it makes the mochi harder to chew.

[cholomackdaddy]

I think it is wonderful that they are working hard to preserve their culture and pass it on to future generations.

[bloood9]

Wow.. are they touching that steaming pot and rice with their BARE HANDS?!

[mike123asd]

[DragonLordXweetok]

Mochi is pounded rice, not rice pudding.

[MeijinKino]

o wow! thx so much for posting/recording this, this is great. =)

[XxXStarLoveXxX]

isn't mochi rice cake?

[oOMusicIsLifeOo]

no, it's rice that's pounded into an elastic glutenous paste-like consistency, almost like chewing gum but less stringy.

[milkdduds]

green tea ice cream mochi is awesome but still home made is best ^^

[MoonbridgeBooks]

Tyra, nice "documentary" of old-fashioned mochi-making! It probably tastes much better fresh, but too much trouble to make so I'll keep buying mine from the frozen food section.

[coolhalo333]

only Mochi I've eaten was garnished with Ice Cream ^-^

[TyraW2686]

I personally don't see those to meshing well but then again....hmmmm I'm gonna have to try that now..
