Glenn attended the JMSDF (Japanese Martime Self Defense Force) annual Mochi Pounding event. Unfortunately, the event was the same night as a squadron Christmas party that I had already committed to babysitting for so I could not attend.
Mochi is made from taking rice and pounding it with large hammers (the traditional way) or putting it in a mochi maker. It comes out as a chewy rice flavored sticky goo like substance. It's actually pretty good as unappetizing as my description sounds. Many times it is filled with another substance or coated in a substance to give it flavor. My personal favorite is mochi filled with ice cream!
Glenn said it was a great event. The Japanese are always so good at putting on events and this was no exception.
