Nakatanidou - Nara

As the title says, it is both delicious and soft mochi. line moves fast, but there are many people who watch them make mochi so that it could be overcrowded. and yes, that is the load of many mochi pounding memes.

Stand in the quick moving line to get a mochi to eat immediately, then buy a box so you can enjoy more later and try to catch the mochi making process!

We've seen videos about this place before going to Japan. I was super excited to find it. We've seen the masters pounding the rice and then bought the freshly made mochi. Super yummy, even just writing about it, I'd like more of it.

These are soft, gooey, rich mochi. Mugwort is an unusual but nice flavour. Highly recommended.

I was walking from one of the many world heritage sites of Nara, and just happened to see a seller of motchi. I love good motchi, with gyukuru or hojicha so I was very happy to discover this outlet. In broken Japanese I ascertained they are sfv and then discovered them again here on happy cow. I am a very happy humy
