  • Aloha Happy People... Happy New Year 2023!!
    It's been awhile and I hope all of you are doing well. My mom and I were invited to a mochi pounding get together. It was the first time for my mom to see it in Hawaii, Brian's first time seeing it and my first time trying it. So much fun to be around people with strong family values and good friends... Lots of Aloha.... wishing you all good fortune 2023

    This was great. I did mochitsuki at the Japanese school I went to when I was younger. I’m so glad there are places that still do this so that the next generation can see and experience this tradition. Thank you so much for sharing Niki!

    Good video....I see mochi pounding as taking all the people in the world, family and friends (the individual grams of rice) and molding them into a really beautiful, delicious glob of mochi.

    Great to see a new post from you and watch everybody come together to celebrate the new year by pounding mochi! Folks sharing, enjoying, participating in Hawaii's diverse culture. " I tink Hawaii is mo like one....salad bowl of da Pacific." (Rap Reiplinger - "Rap's Hawaii") ❤. Pound mochi and also eat the ono looking mix potluck plates with sushi, poke, gau gee, chow mein, fried chicken etc 😊👍! Have a wonderful 2023 🎍🐇🌺!

    Happy New Year. Health and Happiness to you, your mother and ohana. Try making mochi with a hangover like I did visiting family in Kagoshima. Lots of splinters in those buggers.

    Akemashite Omedeto Gozaimasu Nat chan and Okasan! Family too! I was just asking brother Shinichi about you and your mama. I’m so happy to see you healthy and happy! Thank you for sharing the tradition of mochisuki. Definitely something I wish my family would have done. We have done ALL of the traditions of Toshikoshi soba, ozoni, Osechi/Oshogatsu feasting, since I was a child. Just never mochi pounding. I have a mochi making machine that I bought a few years ago. Like you said, it’s just easier to buy. Thank you Lana for sharing your beautiful family tradition, and passing it down through the generations. Take care sister! Nat chan wa hontoni Bijin desu! ❤

    Happy New Year, Niki Niki. So awesome that you found work. Indeed, it's a challenge to get back into the swing of things. There is a reason we learned in school to stretch before a workout. (pro-tip). So sad to hear that your cat is unwell. *prays* In this day and age, it's so convenient to just go to the store to buy stuff. However, it's good to see mochi pounding, so we can see all of the hard work that goes into making what we eat. After my fam went to see our first mochi pounding, my younger sibling started eating mochi. I think seeing 2 people work so hard sparked something. No need to apologize for being away from UA-cam. Real life is more important. Take care. And, keep up the awesome work.

    We don't pound but we have a mochi maker so the mochi is fresh cause you don't know how long the mochi sat on the shelf.

  • @nemisis3006

    We punched the mochi. Kind of stopped when my mom passed. Started again during covid. I'm a broiled and soup mochi maker.😁

    We used to have mochitsuki but it kind of stopped after my parents' generation passed away.
    I saw you but from across the store. It was before Christmas and store was crowded. I didn't want to shout out your name and scare you. 🤣 Yeah, we just happened to be on that side of the island for a craft fair and stopped at that shopping center on the way home.

    my ex-wife's brother used to have to go to his friend's house in Hawaii Kai every year --which he dreaded, as he had to pound often the mochi...
