Every year the Ottawa Japanese Community Association and Ottawa Japanese Cultural Centre host the annual Mochitsuki Festival. Come early and there will be lots of yummy food: mochi, which is eaten savoury or sweet, udon with vegetable tempura, oden (new this year!), boxed sushi, daifuku (mochi manju), and more! Come and pound sweet rice the traditional way with a wooden mallet! There will also be door prizes and entertainment such as Japanese folk dancing. Everyone is welcome!
