Happy New Year from the ProDPI Family to yours! Here is a little glimpse into one of our Japanese New Year’s Traditions…Mochi! This year my mother made her first batch at home (we normally just buy it!) It came out great!
From Wikipedia:
Mochi (Japanese: 餅; Chinese: 麻糬) is a Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice pounded into paste and molded into shape. In Japan it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki. While eaten year-round, mochi is a traditional food for the Japanese New Year and commonly sold and eaten at that time.
