I recently visited Little Tokyo's oldest mochi shop, Fugetsudo. Third-generation owner Brian Kito showed us how to make suama, a multi-colored sweet made of mochi flour. I was impressed by his deft kneading skills, and when it came time for me to try my hand at it I realized I was all thumbs. =/

I love that shop. They've got some cool modern mochi, but their classics are still the best.
I love your J-Pop vids! Making mochi by hand is pretty fun too! There's something about smacking rice with a huge mallet that feels so liberating. ;)
Wow, those are gorgeous! I need to visit. LA is wonderful.
