Nikkei Mochitsuki もちつき


Thurs, Dec 29 | 11AM - 3PM

Mochitsuki is returning to the Nikkei Centre this year! A traditional New Years and year-end activity, mochitsuki ('mochi pounding') is when the community comes together to make mochi the old-fashioned way. Roll up those sleeves...

Whether mochitsuki is a tradition in your own family, or you're completely new to Japanese cultural experiences, we invite the public to come join in this experience together.

今年は3年ぶりに日系もちつきが開催されます。臼と杵を使った餅つきのデモンストレーション、お餅の賞味、そしてお餅の販売もいたします。杵を持って餅つきに挑戦してみませんか?日本の年末恒例の伝統行事にぜひご家族でご参加ください。このイベントはバンクーバー日系ガーデナーズ協会の協力で行われます。
