The process of the three kind of rice-cakes.

We attended Don Don Yaki as new year event last Sunday.
We enjoyed the event, especially I did enjoy the three rice-cakes.
So I would like to introduce the process of the rice-cakes.

1 : steam mochi rice


2 : set the steamed rice in a rice mortar.


3 : knead the rice by beetle


4 : and knead more


5 : and them pound it by beetle


This is very fresh mochi.


6 : coat toasted soybean flour and bean jam, blend with grated radish


These are the rice-cakes.

Thank you for showing how mochi is made! I am amazed that rice can be turned into something so gooey.

But we have two kind of rice.
One is Uruchi mai, another one is Mochi gome.

Uruchi mai is for regular diet. It doesn't turn into the gooey like Mochi gome.
