[@chufue5322]

Yesss, I was just thinking that! I find it so interesting that Hmong people have used a technique similar to mochi making when the two groups of people (hmong & japanese) have lived so far from each other regionally. Wondering where that influence could've came from. :) Emmy!! You should try making Hmong Ncuav (pounded sticky rice)!

When I went to San Jose, California in 2019 I went to the Japanese American Museum. The day I was there they were giving tours with the historical society, and there was a film called Return To Heart Mountain, about a Japanese Internment camp. In the audience that day there were camp survivors who shared their stories, including one who recalled saving and collecting their sugar and rice rations so that people could continue to make mochi and maintain their traditions. It was such a meaningful experience to hear their stories firsthand. Thanks for showing us this unique tool!

[@DaliDoll686]

That is so neat!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@bjrnsrensen8456]

It's truly insane to think that the government used to have what literally equates to concentration camps for Japanese-Americans. It baffles my mind that we don't have a national holiday to remember such an atrocity done by the American government to American citizens.

[@kellypg]

@@bjrnsrensen8456 the US government is no different then any other government. They want to forget any wrong they've committed, no matter how bad it was. It's an awful thing. I didn't even know that this happened until years after I got out of high school. It's infuriating.

[@ts4686]

It is yet another shameful part of usa history. I dont call atrocities by their sanitised names. As you said those camps were concentration camps and no sanitised name or purposefully forgetting of those atrocity can gloss that over. I wish the American Japanese would insist on a memorial day for this part of their heritage. I wish all Americans would insist on this. We shouldn't have to only fight for each of our group's rights. We should all be doing things and fighting for each other and together. You're blessed to have heard a survivor's account. As difficult as that must have been for them and you listening. Thank you for sharing.

[@BrettKodama]

There actually is a day among the Japanese American community that we use to commemorate the camps, which is February 19th. It's the day FDR signed the order that authorized their imprisonment. If you look "Day of Remembrance" with Japanese Americans, you should be able to find it.

Emmy, as I looked up the mochi maker, I kept seeing bread machines pop up. So I searched to see if anyone has made mochi in a bread machin, & apparently LOTS of people have!! I would love to see you make mochi with a bread machine & see how it compares! (Also, it seems some have had luck using a stand mixer?!)

[@Perfftetysheeeeeets]

I just looked at the same thing! I have a bread machine already and I'd love to test it out but I'm a little scared it will ruin my machine 😬

Yes! I need these videos because the mochi machine is over $500 in Australia.

This brings nostalgic memories from my childhood! My family would gather once a year for mochi making. My Great Grandmother used to pull the mochi balls by hand before we got a machine that would cut it for us. Sadly since her passing the gatherings have become few and far between.

[@bribri3069]

That’s unfortunate and I’m sorry to hear the loss of your great grandmother! But don’t let the tradition die with her! If it was fun for you to experience, I’m sure it would be the same if shared with others!

Thanks for the addition of the family history of the farmers. There's still people who don't realize America put Japanese families into interment camps.

Ohhhh Emmy!! I had to pause off the bat! What have you done!!? I am supposed to be in Japan for two weeks as we speak and you just showed a mochi-a-holic that THERE IS A MACHINE THAT CAN HELP ME MAKE IT! **Fan girl squeal** Bless your heart and all your parts! 🤣 Now I have to figure out a way to buy it and say it's not a want but a need in my fragile state of missed Japan trip. You think that will fly? LOL Happy New Year! Ok back to our regularly scheduled Emmy fun time!

I just read that people have been able to make mochi with bread making machines as well! I may give this a try, as you can find brand-new bread machines in thrift stores, while the mochi machine is $350+! Yikes!

Re: the miso hook, pure guess but is it meant for gently mashing the soybeans after you soak and cook them, or incorporating the salt and koji? My expertise (lol) comes from making miso with the actual experts at Miso18ヶ月, and at that time we just mashed the hell out of the soybeans in a plastic baggie and mixed by hand. The process is so simple though I don't know what else you could even get a machine to do besides the mash-and-mix. I hope you get to give it a try!

[@shays7815]

In the Philippines they make palitaw. It's the sticky rice flour made into little pancake disc and boiled. When it floats to the top you take it out and cover it in sweetened shredded dry coconut. Sprinkle it with toasted sesame seeds and it's done. It's something we eat during New Years Eve and into New Years.

[@KelseyBrooke-XO]

I absolutely appreciate everything you do. The way you stay humble. The way you don’t act like your perfect and show your mistakes. The way you say “that’s so stinking cute”. Or the way you get scared from a mochi machine buzzing. Or the burps you add in your vids. We are all human,and I feel like you share your true self with us! It makes my heart smile. I also truly respect the fact that you keep your family out of the videos and leave that part of your life personal. There is so much negativity in the world today,I don’t blame you for wanting to keep that away from your kiddos! Love you tons Emmy! It would be EVERYTHING to me to one day get to meet! My best friend and I just enjoy every video. We sit there and pause the video,predict what you think something will taste like or what the texture will be and then play the video. Most of the time we are pretty accurate. Thank you for being the bright side of my days! This past year has been tough, starting by loosing my dad last January to stage 4 lung cancer. Much, much love and light your way, all the way from Knoxville,TN! 💜

My friend is half Japanese and half Mexican, she loves doing fusion food with both cuisines. She makes these savory mochis with potatoes, beans, cheese, and/or chorizo as the filling. Then she'll fry them until crispy in some butter (or chorizo grease because why not) and they are AMAZING!

[@shanaeluv230]

Happy new year everyone! 🥳

[@Moss.Hazlewood]

You unlocked a deep forgotten memory I had! My mom used to make kiri mochi for me for breakfast and it was delicious! Idk the exact recipe but I know she made it with a glutinous brown rice, soaked raisins, which got mashed with the rice, cinnamon, vanilla, and I think some other spices too. She'd toast it in the oven then add cream cheese. Yum!

[@HerHomeschoolHomestead]

Thank you for this Emmy. Today is a hard day. I got a call that my best friend of 20 years died. I’ve been crying for over 5 hours and I can’t stop. The kids and my husband are very distraught. She was a HUGE part of our family. And out of nowhere she is gone. She had a blood clot in her leg that she didn’t even know about and it spread to her lungs. The other day she was going to her car and she coughed and the clot exploded and hit her artery/ she hit the cold, icy snow filled pavement and died instantly. Not the way I wanted to end or start a new year. Please pray for us and her family. Thank you. Happy New Year to you all 🎆

[@Meilei429]

I am 48 yrs old, my grandmother would make mochi for me when I was little....I used to like watching it puff up too!!! She would cut them into tiny squares and fry them, then toss them in soy sauce!

We typically pound mochi for New Years at our house but because of COVID we needed to cancel that. (Typically we have about 50 or so people coming and going throughout the day.) My mom decided we needed to buy a mochi maker but we bought the Zojirushi one because at that time (end of November) we couldn't find one anywhere. Love that thing.

When I lived in Northern CA we used to buy Mochi. Boy was it hard, it reminded me of a printing block made of linoleum. The ones we got were more of a brown color like they were made with brown rice and the squares were twice the size of yours. After toasting we would cut them open and fill the hollow centers, so good.

[@aiechaledance]

Thank you Emmy for making these great videos! We did our annual 'Mochi Tsuki' just a few days ago to bring in the New Year. i am in my 70's and still keep this one tradition alive. Now, my grandson is learning how. i appreciated your mentioning the Koda Farms story and the fact of the ''internment camps' disrupting the entire farm. My family and all relatives and friends of Japanese ancestry were in the concentration camps. After re-settling their lives, this tradition was once again carried on. One of my fondest memories growing up was the annual 'Mochi Tsuki' with relatives. We used the old style wood mallet and wooden bowl for the pounding. What a fabulous time! Now, its our trusty ol' Tiger :-) Thanks again: you are adorable!

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

A six pack of what, 1lb bricks? That's insanely expensive, it's just rice!!

[@sylviaparraz6963]

I really hope each piece was the size of a plate for that price!!

[@Tropicalpisces]

Whoa. $$$

What do you call eating too many rice cakes on a boat? Mochi sickness.

My moms mochi machine buzzes like that and scares me every time, for the last +30 years!

Do you know how to make soft mochi, like you'd use for an mochi? I've got a machine and the rock hard mochi is not my fave. Mochi from the mochi-ya stays soft longer. 😔

[@buckeybucket1312]

@@jenniferpearce1052 I don’t. I wish I did. Sometimes when my mochi gets too dry I break it up into little pieces and deep fry it. You can add any flavor like soy sauce or, my fav, powdered sugar

@@buckeybucket1312 We make balls dusted with katakuriko and layer it between waxed paper in Tupperware. But even the nibbles taken while making the balls don't have the same pillowy softness of mochi from the mochi-ya. I've looked closely at the mochi-ya mochi, and it's full of tiny bubbles that I don't see in mine. I watched a bunch of mochi videos last night, and it seems like they knead the mochi by hand sometimes. Maybe that folds in air. But how to keep it from cooling too much? And yet c9ol enough to touch???

@@buckeybucket1312 And we like kinako mochi, so we usually boil it and it's fine, but this year we made some an mochi that ended up pretty terrible by day 2. 😔
