Nikkei Mochitsuki もちつき
*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 12/29/2023
A traditional year-end activity, mochitsuki (mochi pounding)is when the community comes together to make glutinous rice cakes the old-fashioned way: with a hollowed-out tree trunk and wooden mallet.
Whether mochitsuki is a tradition in your own family, or you're completely new to Japanese cultural experiences, we invite the public to come join in this experience together. Watch the pros hammer away, and try your out your own hand at turning rice into sticky irresistible mochi. The event features a demonstration by the Vancouver Japanese Gardeners Association.
