There was a Kid’s Mochitsuki Taikai there and I tried it for the first time. This is where the kids get to try helping to make the sticky steamed rice ... you have to get the big heavy hammer thing and bash the rice in the big bucket to make it all sticky...
Later, we had some Mochi ( the sticky rice) well I did not have any because I don't really like Mochi, but Mum had some with grated White Raddish and Soy Sauce and my sister Emily had some with Sweet Red Bean paste...
Here is a video of me and Emily helping to make the Mochi...
And here is a photo of Emily enjoying her Mochi and Sweet Red Bean Paste...
