A hands-on mochi pounding experience in Dotonbori where visitors can make and taste freshly pounded rice cakes.

Oh Mochi is a hands-on activity centre in Dotonbori that invites visitors to try mochi pounding, the traditional Japanese practice of turning steamed glutinous rice into soft, chewy rice cakes. Located a short walk from the main canal, it offers a break from sightseeing with an edible souvenir.

Sessions usually include a demonstration of the correct way to pound the sticky rice with a wooden mallet, then a chance to shape and flavour your own mochi. Some experiences add toppings such as sweet red bean paste, kinako soybean powder or seasonal fruit, and fresh mochi can be tasted on the spot. Booking ahead is wise, especially at weekends and during school holidays.

This is an ideal activity for families, food lovers or anyone who wants to take home a memorable story from Dotonbori. Wear comfortable clothes and be ready to join in; the rhythmic pounding is more tiring than it looks.
