      Yesss, I was just thinking that! I find it so interesting that Hmong people have used a technique similar to mochi making when the two groups of people (hmong & japanese) have lived so far from each other regionally. Wondering where that influence could've came from. :)
      Emmy!! You should try making Hmong Ncuav (pounded sticky rice)!

    When I went to San Jose, California in 2019 I went to the Japanese American Museum. The day I was there they were giving tours with the historical society, and there was a film called Return To Heart Mountain, about a Japanese Internment camp. In the audience that day there were camp survivors who shared their stories, including one who recalled saving and collecting their sugar and rice rations so that people could continue to make mochi and maintain their traditions. It was such a meaningful experience to hear their stories firsthand. Thanks for showing us this unique tool!

      I dont call atrocities by their sanitised names. As you said those camps were concentration camps and no sanitised name or purposefully forgetting of those atrocity can gloss that over. I wish the American Japanese would insist on a memorial day for this part of their heritage. I wish all Americans would insist on this. We shouldn't have to only fight for each of our group's rights. We should all be doing things and fighting for each other and together.
      You're blessed to have heard a survivor's account. As difficult as that must have been for them and you listening.

      There actually is a day among the Japanese American community that we use to commemorate the camps, which is February 19th. It's the day FDR signed the order that authorized their imprisonment. If you look "Day of Remembrance" with Japanese Americans, you should be able to find it.

    I absolutely appreciate everything you do. The way you stay humble. The way you don’t act like your perfect and show your mistakes. The way you say “that’s so stinking cute”. Or the way you get scared from a mochi machine buzzing. Or the burps you add in your vids. We are all human,and I feel like you share your true self with us! It makes my heart smile. I also truly respect the fact that you keep your family out of the videos and leave that part of your life personal. There is so much negativity in the world today,I don’t blame you for wanting to keep that away from your kiddos! Love you tons Emmy! It would be EVERYTHING to me to one day get to meet! My best friend and I just enjoy every video. We sit there and pause the video,predict what you think something will taste like or what the texture will be and then play the video. Most of the time we are pretty accurate. Thank you for being the bright side of my days! This past year has been tough, starting by loosing my dad last January to stage 4 lung cancer.

Now, my grandson is learning how. i appreciated your mentioning the Koda Farms story and the fact of the ''internment camps' disrupting the entire farm. My family and all relatives and friends of Japanese ancestry were in the concentration camps. After re-settling their lives, this tradition was once again carried on. One of my fondest memories growing up was the annual 'Mochi Tsuki' with relatives. We used the old style wood mallet and wooden bowl for the pounding. What a fabulous time!

    I am 48 yrs old, my grandmother would make mochi for me when I was little....I used to like watching it puff up too!!! She would cut them into tiny squares and fry them, then toss them in soy sauce! For years I thought this was popcorn😆😆 until I was old enough to go to the movies, I was mad as hell they didn’t have grandmoms popcorn!! Then she we would make it with the red beans🤤🤤🤤🤤Omggggg!!!! Happy New Year!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH, EMMY!!!! I used to be a nanny & the mother would bake (store-bought from the freezer section, iirc) 'mochi' & I loved it fresh out of the oven with just a bit of salt sprinkled on top. After they moved, I would look for mochi, but only find the ice cream filled version. HOWEVER, thanks to you, I now have a better term to search for! Thank you again! (If I thought I'd eat it more often, I'd consider the machine...maybe if my kid ends up liking it too, once I locate more...) I'm so excited that I might actually get to eat it again!

    Re: the miso hook, pure guess but is it meant for gently mashing the soybeans after you soak and cook them, or incorporating the salt and koji? My expertise (lol) comes from making miso with the actual experts at Miso18ヶ月, and at that time we just mashed the hell out of the soybeans in a plastic baggie and mixed by hand. The process is so simple though I don't know what else you could even get a machine to do besides the mash-and-mix. I hope you get to give it a try!

    We typically pound mochi for New Years at our house but because of COVID we needed to cancel that. (Typically we have about 50 or so people coming and going throughout the day.) My mom decided we needed to buy a mochi maker but we bought the Zojirushi one because at that time (end of November) we couldn't find one anywhere. Love that thing. We used it twice and it's sitting in the living room right now in the box because my dad said there's no reason to put it away just yet. LoL

    Thank you for this Emmy. Today is a hard day. I got a call that my best friend of 20 years died. I’ve been crying for over 5 hours and I can’t stop. The kids and my husband are very distraught. She was a HUGE part of our family. And out of nowhere she is gone. She had a blood clot in her leg that she didn’t even know about and it spread to her lungs. The other day she was going to her car and she coughed and the clot exploded and hit her artery/ she hit the cold, icy snow filled pavement and died instantly. Not the way I wanted to end or start a new year. Please pray for us and her family. Thank you. Happy New Year to you all 🎆
