Finally, this morning, I collected a box YO sent me for Oshogatsu. The box contains mochi (rice cakes)! Ohhhhhhh, how should I eat these?! I'm so obsessed with this delight problem of how to consume them. Thanks, YO! This is a great gift at the daunting, depressing beginning of the term.
As a Japanese, I tried to make an Oshogatsu feeling with this rice cake. Actually, I tried to put a grapefruit on the rice cake to make the stereotypical kagami-mochi, but as you may imagine, of course, it didn't work. A grapefruit is too huge to sit on. Nay :(
