A free and fun, tasty cultural event open to the public! Everyone is welcome to come enjoy some delicious new year's mochi, first come first served! Bring the whole family for an opportunity to pound rice with a Japanese traditional wooden mortar (usu) and pestle (kine), just like ojiichan used to do it! 

We need 40+ volunteers for things like making bite-sized mochi in the kitchen, serving, and directing folks to the right areas. Volunteering goes from 8:30 am - 1:30 pm for preparation and cleanup. Please sign up here, and don't forget your apron! 

This year we're in a new location! We have moved to the United Way Family Success Center (address at left). This year, we welcome back Sun Mountain Taiko to help us get the right rhythm going for rice pounding!
