Honestly, when I was living in Japan, I never attempted to make it even once. That's because I thought it would be difficult to make and need special skills. However, my friend told me, "In the country where I born, Mochi is quite popular. I'd love to try it someday." She encouraged me to give it a try, and to my surprise, it was very easy to make! When I shared some with her, she was delighted and made me so happy😊
