Mochitsuki tomorrow in San Francisco’s Japantown! Come out to pound the old fashioned way. MOCHITSUKI 2018 Presented by the:... Center for Japanese American Studies / Japanese American National Library Christ United Presbyterian Church Saturday December 29, 2018 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m 1700 Sutter Street (Laguna Street) San Francisco Japantown Tradition must go on! It’s the 50th annual mochi-tsuki time! All of you and your friends are invited to join us on Saturday December 29 at Christ United Presbyterian Church’s social hall. We’ll start at 11:00 a.m. and continue until the final mochi is formed around 3:00 p.m. (We can use willing hands from 9:00 a.m. to help with preparations.) Mochigome (rice) is donated by Mr. George Okamoto of Nomura and Co. As always, everyone is encouraged to participate in the pounding of the rice, shaping of the mochi cakes, and eating and socializing all afternoon. Participants can purchase the mochi to take home. Help us recruit mochi pounders. We need all the muscles we can find. Our mochi-tsuki has been held annually for the last thirty-eight years. We pound old fashion way - hand pound. Issei did it, Nisei did it, and Sansei do it. We want Yonsei and Gosei to continue the uniquely Japanese American cultural custom. Round up all your young generations of off-spring and relatives. Once they see the mochi-tsuki, they will get hook. The Japanese American National Library is carrying on the tradition established by the Center for Japanese American Studies. Naturally, its the same softest sweet mochi in the world for which CJAS has been known to produce. Tell your friends and bring your entire extended family to our annual year-end festivity and perpetuate a fun part of our Nikkei cultural heritage. Any question?
