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 glutinous rice cakes the old-fashioned way: with a hollowed-out tree trunk and wooden mallet.

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. It’s great fun for the whole family! 

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。
