Mochitsuki : a japanese tradition

Click here for detailed cooking process

This one has a red bean filling. It also has kind of a 'Matrix' or 'The island' feeling (remember, in both movies, humans are grown into a kind of organic bubble)

A little wink to all my japanese contacts.

though it's very rare scene in japan,it's interesting that mochitsuki could see in the US.
did you enjoy mochitsuki?
i have never experienced mochitsuki.

trivia for you
・in eastern part of japan: mochi is square
・in western part of japan: mochi is circle
