    Myself and my son went to Nara from Kyoto in October, well worth the trip... the mochi is really good and like you said ultra fresh... Note to visitors, bring cash. We were down to v little yen when we got to the door of the temple to see the giant Buddha and the poor lady at the cash desk just couldn't let us in. So we didn't get to see it in the flesh so to speak and it is a hike to it from the train station.

    Nara was the Imperial Capital of Japan c. 710. Really like this video....home. The green mochi is kinako mochi. Kinako is the brown powder on the outside. Nice scent and pleasant flavor. Oh and mochi pounding is especially important at New Year. Enjoyed the video. Thank you.

    I know the "ra" in "Nara" and "kyo" in "Kyōto" are hard to pronounce in Japanese, but please pronounce "mochi" correctly. An "o" in Japanese is always pronounced "oh" - so it's mohchi, not ʻmachi." I'm surprised you donʻt have it (or talk about it) in Canada.
