It's wonderful to see.
You know, there's two men with huge, like, wooden, I think, hammers.
Yeah, and they pummel this rice into submission, and they make these chewy shapes out of them in the end.
And then the sticky rice, you know, once it's pounded into this paste, it's really chewy and soft and moist.
It's fantastic.
shaped into whatever shape sometimes it's round sometimes it's like blocks sometimes it's cut into squares and it can be eaten fresh right then and there sometimes it's filled with like a traditionally in Japan I think it's like a sweet red bean paste sometimes it's rolled in like kinako which is like a roasted soybean powder they put it over ice cream yeah oh my god I love it with ice cream or like daifuku yes it is so good so that's like the origin story of
Mochi, I would say.
Mochi, yes.

Some people also believe it has some sort of connection with Portuguese and Indian desserts.
Oh, interesting.
Because they also have like a similarly chewy texture.
