For those not familiar with the subject, mochitsuki party takes place in mid January. Japan is held near the end of the year, but outside of Japan is usually done in mid-January by questions of timing
The mochi is a mass of rice and water consumed in the new year and is also used to make offerings. The process begins the day before, by cleaning the mochigome (polished glutinous rice) left to soak overnight.

The next morning boil until it is very sticky and then when you start the process is most striking and spectacular sticky arró placed in a large mortar (usu) and between two people makes the process of hitting a huge wooden mallet (kine) whilst the other turns in the intervals of one stroke to another.

This process is very complicated, because rice is increasingly sticky, and it requires a lot of strength (to hit), very quickly (to flip the dough), and a lot of attention and timing (for leave no one is hurt or not generate chips that are composited with rice). It is very hard work, so when performed, groups of people take turns to its development, until the dough reaches the right texture, and then leave the dough into portions sepando (like balls) and derivatives made mochi who wish to achieve. In this case I have added picture because we invite you to asistais, it is very spectacular view.


Also during the celebration will see more activities and performances, enjoy Japanese dishes (not just the mochi) and enter a drawing to the typical Japanese style (with insurance premium)


mechanics operating in other years is that there is an area onde bought ballots and those ballots are exchanged for food or other items (the number of ballots varies according to the request)
