MOCHI COME MY WAY |
Sunday, Jan 19, 2025 after service |
Getting together to make some mochi has become an annual event at the Temple. Everyone is invited to join the sangha and the Dharma Time class as we use the modern method (mochi machines) to make the mochi and shape it with our own hands. Or, feel free to come and sample this special, traditional treat. |
