Specialty Hand-Pounded Strawberry Mochi in Kyoto, Japan by Mochi Mochi もちもち, Kyoto, Japan Just a short walk from Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto , Japan's historic Higashiyama neighborhood, Mochi Mochi is a small shop that consistently draws a crowd with its live mochi-pounding demonstrations. Each day, the old-fashioned shop, housed in a narrow wooden shophouse, prepares mochi the traditional way. The rhythmic shouts of the workers and the gathered crowd caught my attention as I made my way down the busy street, and I stopped to take a look as well. chocolate daifuku mochi with azuki sweet red bean paste and topped with a strawberry in Kyoto, Japan
