Overview
Experience authentic Japanese mochi pounding at a traditional farmhouse in the rice-growing Togo area of Fukui City. Using premium Tanchō rice carefully grown by the host, you will pound freshly steamed glutinous rice with a mortar and pestle, just as it has been done for generations in Japan. Enjoy freshly made mochi with four local flavors: grated daikon (oroshi), sweet soybean flour (abekawa), wrapped in seaweed, and traditional ozoni soup. Eat as much as you like until the mochi is gone. Mochi pounding is a celebratory tradition performed on special occasions in Japan. Surrounded by a nostalgic rural landscape, connect with fellow participants and local residents while experiencing Japan’s farm-to-table culture and timeless food traditions.
