Mochi

Mochi are soft and chewy sweets born in the Yayoi era（2,300 years ago）. From ancient times, Japanese people started to think that god exists in rice plants. Compared to making a staple food “Rice”, Mochi is more complicated. For that people have admired food manufacturers who work for citizens and god. Nowadays people eat and send as a gift for special occasions. Birthday gifts, Happy new year and more.
