Mochi Making the Old Fashioned Way

This is mochi making the old fashioned way – a lot of hard work and pounding. In the photograph, you can see two people working the glutinous rice. One person is pounding and the other person is turning and wetting the mochi. They are working in sync with each other – good teamwork! And just as well – otherwise one of them could get hurt!

Mochi is a traditional Japanese rice cake that is made from rice and made into a paste.
This is one of my favourite sweets from mochi – it is called kusa mochi.
