Children’s Mochi Pounding Festival: Experience a Japanese Tradition

Children’s Mochi Pounding Festival: Experience a Japanese Tradition
Mochi pounding, known as “mochi-tsuki”, is a traditional Japanese event where steamed rice is pounded with a large wooden mallet (kine) in a mortar (usu) to create soft, chewy mochi (rice cakes).

At the Children’s Mochi Pounding Festival, participants can try pounding mochi themselves and enjoy the fresh, warm mochi they make. This event is a fun way to experience a Japanese New Year tradition with family and friends.
Join us and experience the joy of mochi pounding!
