To clarify, the mochi festival is held to demonstrate the traditional method of making mochi. People have machines to do it nowadays. In Japanese schools, they like to show the youngsters (and tag-along foreigners) how they did it in the old days.

very excited about eating mochi
My apologies for holding the camera vertically and not knowing how to flip it. I'm working on it...
This video is cool because it shows mochi in the early stages. The first video with the kid and the pink mochi shows the mochi at it's final stage, with the consistency of a stechy playdough. The pale green mochi in this video, however, is clumpy and soft, and still needs a lot of hammering.
This is an uneventful shot of the classroom. Ignore the exciting title.
Its like in Hawaii they teach the kids how to make poi. It seems all these countries like to teach kids how to make disgusting treats.
ReplyDeleteThat is to say, I like neither poi nor mochi.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun! I'm jealous!
