Eating mochi, pounded rice cakes, is a Japanese New Year's tradition. These special mochi are made of rice and water only- they are not flavored or seasoned, and make a delicious addition to hot soup, or pan fried in butter, or even wrapped in bacon!
On Sunday, December 10, 2023 the Berkeley Ohtani basketball teams, in conjunction with the Berkeley Higashi Honganji Buddhist Temple Adult Buddhist Association and the Jr. YBA, will make mochi the old-fashioned way: by steaming sweet rice, kneading and pounding it, then shaping it by hand.
