Kibimochi, Awamochi, Tochi Mochi introduction
In the past, millet was grown everywhere, but since rice has been improved and it became easier to grow, millet on the contrary, has become a rarity. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly attracting attention as a healthy diet due to its high nutritional value.
Tochi rice is harvested from September to October, so “Tochi-mochi” is also made and eaten during this period. Both “kibimochi” and “awamochi” were made for the end of the year, and the custom of eating millet mochi during the New Year holidays has been handed down to the region.
