Mochitsuki Rice Pounding Event
If you enjoy the sweet sticky joy that is mochi rice cakes, we have a great event for you at Japan Centre this weekend! To coincide with the Japanese New Year tradition of mochitsuki, where sweet glutinous rice is pounded into a sticky cake, Japan Centre will be holding our own mochitsuki ceremony so you can see what it is all about!
SANSHOKU MOCHI
Sanshoku (meaning three colours) is a common theme in Japanese cuisine where three different flavours are served together to complement the great colours. These delicious mochi are a great snack to enjoy for the New Year celebration, but can also be enjoyed all year round.
