Karate & Mochitsuki

It’s winter school!

That means everyone gets the chance to enjoy a karate lesson with Mr. Naoi who is a professional karate athlete.

Then we observed their incredible skill and strength with mochitsuki!

You have to be very strong to pound the sticky rice into a smooth rice cake.

All the children got the chance to try as well.

Afterwards, we all enjoyed some mochi with yummy red bean paste on top for dessert.
