  • I watched this video at my japanese class.

    We are making Japanese New year's cards.

  • Cool!!

  • i have a question:

    I'm german and don't know if i...

    ...should buy a mochi maker, which costs arround 100€

    ....should make it with glutinious rice flour and water

    .... or if i should get one of these old fashioned bowls, but i don't know where

    btw great video :D

  • Dude I would get a stone bowl or something and make your own mallet. The machine is really expensive. You can do it on a smaller scale by hand.

  • very cool arigato gozaimasu for the video. I think i will respect mochi more when i eat it, man that is a lot of work.

  • Well they have machines now but it tastes better when you slave over it. Cheers!

see all
