New Year Mochi Making in Japan

Mochi are Japanese rice cakes and making them the traditional way rocks. On New Years' Eve with kine (mallet) in hand we pounded rice in to the squidgy immenseness that is mochi!

I hope this video conveys some of the good feeling our mochi fest brought us. If you're yet to try the delights of mochi making, give it a whirl - you won't regret it...

Wait,,,feeding mochi to little babies is dangerous...

It's gonna choke and KILL the baby.

So you must be careful.
