How do you like your mochi?

Happy holidays, all! I got a big bag of kirimochi. I usually toast mine in the toaster oven, put a slice of cheese on it, wrap it in nori, and dip it in soy sauce. How do you like to serve and eat mochi?

    I keep forgetting to eat mochi with cheese and nori this season but that sounds good. I'm eating oshiruko and kinako mochi so far, with plans for ozoni in the new year. I've seen elegant and simple ozoni, but we'll just put mochi into our leftover nabe. Daikon oroshi is not a favorite but another option.

    I like sweet mochi the best, I think. Koshian or Tsubuan dango are probably my favorites. I also like the sweet yet savory of mitarashi dango. I've never made them myself though, I always just get the pre-made ones.

    @helloalissa Ah! Thanks for reminding me to put mochi instead of rice or noodles in my nabe.

    @ReishiiTravels I've enjoyed zenzai. Just mochi, red beans and sugar? Is there a knack to it?

    I can't say I have ever tried cheese like you do, and I am intrigued. Mochi is always sweet for me, with kinako and sugar. But I got to try this white-miso-soup mochi recently and it is awesome.

    @JapanRamen I don't have much of a sweet tooth. White miso shiru with mochi sounds good....I'll give that a try.

    @TonetoEdo I buy the bean paste already made in a can or pack. That way, you only have to add some hot water to it!

    @Bella I found recipes for zenzai on justonecookbook.com. It’s where I have learned a lot of washoku recipes lately.

    I recently got introduced to 'Pizza-mochi', where you microwave the mochi with cheese and then mix it with tomato sauce and some herbs if you like. Even though I also like mochi with soysauce and nori, this is still my favourite way of eating mochi.

    @Kanuba Pizza mochi! I did something like pasta mochi the other night - a toasted rice cake with leftover tomato-coconut sauce. It was pretty good.

    As a first-time experience, I found mochi to be delightful! Its chewy texture and sweet filling made for a unique and enjoyable treat.

Is there a limit on daily posts?

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of posts we can publish each day? The reason I ask is, yesterday I wrote more than 30 posts, but I realized last night that at least the last two I wrote, have disappeared. They definitely published, but then disappeared a few minutes later. One was about a Santa in Nagoya, the other about Santa in Tamadairanomori. There maybe more but those two are definitely missing.

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.

Did you feel the December 8th earthquake?

There was a large earthquake off the coast of Aomori Prefecture at 11.15 pm on December 8th 2025. We are approximately 700 kilometers from the epicenter, yet we felt it very strongly. Did you feel it and how far away (roughly) are you from the epicenter?
