The trip so far: Amazing! It’s going to be tough coming back.

Mochitsuki in Osaka
Our friends invited us to a traditional mochi pounding (mochitsuki) at their neighborhood community center in Osaka. This was an unexpected and special experience for us. For more about mochitsuki, read the traditional preparation section on Wikipedia.
