SUMMARY:Mochi Tsuki Festival
DESCRIPTION:1/6/2024 – Join the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community (BIJAC) at the annual Mochi Tsuki Festival. \nHighlights include performances from the acclaimed Seattle taiko drum group Kokon Taiko\, a mochi making presentation\, and a pictoral history of the award-winning exhibit “Kodomo No Tameni – For the sake of the children.” \nBIJAC members will prepare some batches of mochi in the centuries-old method of first steaming the sweet rice over an open fire\, then placing the cooked rice into a warm stone or concrete bowl called an usu. Using large wooden mallets\, two people rhythmically pound the rice in the usu\, while with bare hands a third person swiftly moves the rice between each mallet crash. \nAfter several minutes of vigorous pounding\, the rice becomes a thick\, smooth dough – mochi. From manual pounding in the usu or special mochi-making appliances\, the mochi is removed and children of all ages hand form the steaming-hot mochi into small handball-sized cakes\, filling some of them with a sweet bean paste called ahn. \nWhile arguably mochi is best eaten hot and fresh\, many enjoy roasting it in the oven\, then dipping the puffy and crisp hot mochi cakes into a combination of sugar and soy sauce. For future enjoyment\, mochi can be frozen in airtight bags. \nYou can experience the tradition of mochi tsuki (moe–chee sue–key) or “mochi–making” first hand. Pound rice and make mochi cakes along with the mochi masters. \nThis event is free and no pre-registration is required.
