For over a thousand years mochi has been the traditional celebratory food in Japan where it's thought to rejuvenate one's vitality, health, and strength. It is always served at New Year festivities and events celebrating births, birthdays, weddings, and special occasions. It is respectfully called 'O-mochi' meaning honorable.

EDEN Sprouted Brown Rice Mochi is made by the Kojima family who began making brown rice mochi in 1974 when only white rice mochi was available. Brown rice is washed, sprouted, soaked overnight, and steamed with pure water. The steamed sprouted rice is then ground and pounded into smooth, sticky dough. Pounded mochi is spread in half-inch thick sheets and let sit in refrigeration for three day. The then hardened mochi is cut into cakes and steam vacuum packed for a two-year shelf life with no refrigeration needed.

The pounder is a large, shaped granite stone that is mechanically lifted and gravity dropped onto the hot steamed sweet rice. The mochi is deftly turned by hand between each cycle. Traditionally, and during festivities today, hot sweet rice is placed in a smooth hollowed tree stump and pounded by two people using heavy wooden mallets. As the pounders alternated, a third person reaches in and turns the rice. These tasks demand skill, strength, and good timing. Pounding is essential to enhance mochi's energy.
