Experience traditional Japanese mochi making with a hollowed-out tree trunk and wooden mallet. Mochitsuki (the pounding to make rice cake) is one of the traditional activities in Japan that you often see it around New Year. Special rice, which is stickier than normal rice, is used to make mochi. We invite you to participate in the mochi making process, taste mochi samples and purchase a variety of mochi here in the store. Mochi making performances will occur at 1:00, 1:45 and 2:30 pm on the day of the festival, and customer participation is encouraged! Come, see, taste and participate in this traditional Japanese experience!
