We're going to go through Mochi today. 

Mochi (Japanese: ้ค…, ใ‚‚ใก) is Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain japonica glutinous rice. The rice is pounded into paste and molded into the desired shape. In Japan it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki.
 Mochi is one of the traditional food for Japanese New year, but it's usually eaten as a snack all year round.
  During the Japanese Heian period (794-1192), mochi was used as a "food for the gods" and in religious offerings in Shinto rituals performed by aristocrats. In addition to general good fortune, mochi was also known as a talisman for happy marriages. 


Mochi is gluten- and cholesterol-free, as it is made from rice flour. Mochi is also used for other confectionery, in ice-cream and soup!
