Mochi-tsuki (pounding mochi)

I went pounding "Mochi" (rice cake) at community center with my son. Many children came to the community center to pound and eat "Mochi". We use "Kine" (wooden hammer) to pound steamed glutinous rice on the "Usu" (a mortar).  My son used a small "Kine" to pound.

After pounding "Mochi", we entered the community center and received "Mochi" wrapped with "Kinako" (soybean flour) ,  "Anko" (bean jam), and black sesame. We went back to home and we ate them with my family. It was very tasty !

Fuji-Q Highland

I took three holidays and went to Fiji-Q highland with my family. It was a fine day and we could see beautiful Mt. Fuji. It was warm to play in the amusement park. I guessed there might be few people because of the weekday, but there were many students and Chinese. There were few little children.

I got on the "TEKKOTSU(steel) BANCHO". It was exhilarating. I think my kids would enjoy more if they grow up because they can ride more exciting vehicle like roller coaster.
