Mochi Making

Back in January one of the Japanese congregations of our same faith, hosted a mochi making party.  The first New Years that we were here we also attended a mochi-making party.  See the archives at http://dalpiasfamily.blogspot.jp/2009/01/mochitsuki-and-wago-land.html if you want more details about mochi.  We have really grown to love mochi over the years and we had a great time making it again...  

 As Trevr is Demonstrating, Mochi is Very Sticky




 As Jennifer is Demonstrating, Mochi Making Can Be Hazardous to Your Health
One person has to flip the mochi by hand while the other person pounds.  As you can guess, proper timing is important.




  Mochi Maker In Training
The sister missionaries were kind enough to train McCall on the fine art of stuffing the mochi balls with sweet bean paste.
