Happy New Year!

New Year's is the biggest holiday in Japan
Here we are at the famous Thunder Gate in Asakusa
Eatin Okonomiyaki with  Tsukasa
Making Mochi
This Video is when we made mochi (which is mashed rice) 
Mochi is used in many Japanese style desserts, snacks and meals.
Making Mochi is a New Year's tradition, and we were
so happy to be apart of it this year :)
On a slight side-note, Americans see a man in the moon right?  Well the Japanese see a bunny, holding the wooden hammer above his head making mochi!
