i love mochi especially the chocolate ones. I'll be put off by the multicoloured ones if they were to ever contain e numbers.

I want to try mochi. Someone should send it to me! Lol it looks too pretty to eat though -_-

So many ways to eat mochi, but my favorite is baking the mochi and then putting it in the hot broth my mom makes. Just have to be careful not to choke on it. Come close to the mochi getting stuck several times, but I keep eating it every year.

I wish I could make mochi like that instead of my little glob balls!

I love mochi. There is a store in Tokyo called Mochi Cream which has some amazing fillings like custard pudding.

My neighbour used to make mochi every year. That pounding never seemed to stop all day. Still, it was cool!

Those are really pretty but are they like the dry tasteless rice cakes dieters/health conscience people eat here in the states?

[ibullpitt]

Wish I were back there. Enjoy New Years!

Pretty cool looking. Did they make them into a certain flower to represent each season (Spring Summer Fall Winter) for the end of the year?

[StarDr0ps]

Those look yummy! I wonder if I'd be able to find those at my local Asian mart. hmm...
