하이라이트

  • Lightning-fast 'kosoku mochitsuki' pounding shows
  • Warm freshly made mugwort yomogi mochi
  • Right on Sanjo-dori near Kintetsu Nara Station

유래와 배경

Nakatanidou's rapid pounding is a working technique, not a stunt — speed keeps the rice hot so the finished mochi stays soft yet chewy.
