If you haven't heard of mochi, I BET you have...
Just think of the mochi ice cream that has taken the world by storm
- soft chewy pillows that often contain a sweet treat (like ice cream) inside...
traditionally made by pounding steamed glutinous rice
popular meal among samurai
Now associated with good fortune and happy marriages
and is an essential part of new year's celebrations in Japan
For something so innocently sweet,
How on EARTH could it be dangerous?
Let's find out.
Come pound mochi with the world's fastest mochi maker in Japan...
Just don't forget to keep your hands out of the way.
