Yama Sushi Marketplace is hosting a completely free mochitsuki demonstration (mochi pounding) at all three of their Los Angeles locations and we’d love to have you share with your audience!

A long honored Japanese New Year tradition, this event involves pounding rice into mochi, symbolizing good fortune, long life and good health for the New Year. With taiko drummers building on the festivities, Yama is also partnering with renowned confectionary store Fugetsu-Do, owned and operated in Little Tokyo since 1903, to provide mochi to guests following the demonstration.
