Traditional mochi production requires a "beating" process, which involves repeatedly beating steamed glutinous rice until it becomes sticky. This process allows the starch molecules to rearrange, giving the mochi its distinctive delicate and chewy texture. Hand-beaten mochi offers superior resilience and a richer aroma compared to machine-made varieties.
