Oh alas! We're just back from Tokyo and probably could have found somewhere if we'd known about it. Ah well, if we're ever in japan at year end, again...

@dollish This was in Hawaii...but yes...the same for Japan.

Where did this happen? We'd love to do a mochi making class on our next trip :)

[starletshay]

@dollish There are a few temples/shrines that do it at the end of year / beginning of the year. This one was for a club. They get together and do it for their club members and families.

That was great! And you look sensational whacking the stuff with the hammer too. Happy New Year!

[starletshay]

@swannmannbaggywaggy Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!

@uinkii Ya...there was a guy turning the mochi and putting water on it too...but instead of every single time it was after a few pounds....you know...safety reasons. LoL.

[uinkii]

I think that hammer is the hardest thing to use. You get SO tired in such a short time. In Japan, they have a guy putting water on the mochi between every pounding.
