Sunday I went to an after school club (学童) in the countryside. We were making mochi and selling it to the neighbors as a fundraiser. We used a stone bowl and wooden mallets to pound the rice. It was very chewy and sticky.
We were happy that the weather was so sunny and warm.
The children helped a little, but mostly they played. Some of them learned about how to split wood with an axe.
Inside we had pork soup, mochi, onigiri, senzai, and fried eggs on shrimp crackers. I ate too much.
