Plano, Texas -- Start the New Year with a sweet tradition! Hoshi Japanese Cafe is hosting a mochitsuki event, where you can observe the Japanese art of rice pounding on Saturday, January 11 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
A mochi is a Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain japonica glutinous rice, and sometimes other ingredients such as water, sugar, and cornstarch. The steamed rice is pounded into paste and molded into the desired shape. In Japan, it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki.
While eaten year-round, mochi is a traditional food for the Japanese New Year, and is commonly sold and eaten during that time.
Experience this cultural activity, enjoy delicious mochi, and connect with the community as we celebrate the spirit of the season. Don’t miss this fun and family-friendly event!
Hoshi Japanese Cafe is located at 3304 Coit Road #700A, Plano, TX 75023.
