Taste Hawaii’s Famous Mochi

Japan’s favorite, mochi, has become a Hawaii treat-at least in Nora Uchida's kitchen. Uchida, a third-generation Japanese-American living in Hilo, Hawaii, inherited her grandmother's mochi recipe and evolved it to include the colors and eclectic tastes of her beloved state. For the past 25 years, she and her family have owned and operated Hilo's last mochi storefront, Two Ladies Kitchen. If you can beat the line running out the door on weekends, you're in for a delicious, only-in-Hawaii treat.

An Uber driver recommended I check out this place whilst I was in Hilo a couple of weeks ago. He said it was just a “hole in the wall” sort of place but it had the best mochi you could find. I bought six pieces, they gave me two extra strawberry daifuku as a “visitor bonus.” The next day I went back and they actually recognized me and were just glad that I liked it. Really sweet people working there.

Naruto Nine tails There’s snow on the highest mountain peaks on Hawaii Island, aka “Big Island” I’ve been told that there’s even snow on the island of Maui on occasion.

[@Oshimimers]

It’s not that it’s “really hot.” It’s just that the temperature is regulated by the water that surrounds the islands, so the sun or the lack of sun doesn’t have an effect on the temperature that much. That’s why Hawai’i doesnt really have distinct seasons.

[@kenenchang114]

I live in Hawaii and there's so much culture and life in the islands. To just give a little taste of what it's like. We have our own little language, trust me, most of the time it's not pure Hawaiian. Alot of people local to Hawaii speak Pighin (you pronounce it like pigeon.) It's like English accept broken, you can't teach it to someone they need to pick it up over the years. We are VERY family oriented and love each other very much (sometimes😂.) But most importantly THE FOOD! We love food here and bond with family over it. I would really recommend you try Lau Lau (don't eat the leaves on the outside), poké (you say it with a short e, it's not poke or pokey),and kalua pig(it's pork, but cooked underground to make it more savory and don't worry it's totally clean.) And just a quick tip, if you really want to capture the beauty of Hawaii try to stay away from tourist traps and go more to the nature side of things and take a hike or go to plantation tours if you want to see the history and beauty that Hawaii can offer. Thanks if you've read this long and Maunakea forever.
