Making mochi for the new year

We went to a mochi making/pounding event in Waialua today to celebrate the upcoming new year! I certainly learned a lot about the tradition of making mochi without modern machinery. Here are some pictures and a video of the actual mochi pounding!

On a side note, President-Elect Obama was also visiting a friend in Waialua (near the North Shore) today. Christine thinks that he is following us around the island ;)
