Mochi(Japanese: 餅) is a Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice pounded into paste and molded into shape. In Japan it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki. While also eaten year-round, mochi is a traditional food for the Japanese New Year and is commonly sold and eaten during that time.
In Japanese folk tradition, rabbits living on the moon produce mochi with mallets and mortars. The legend is based on the tradition to identify the markings of the moon as a rabbit pounding mochi. In a story Buddha places a rabbit to the moon as payment for a favour in which rabbit voluntarily gives himself as food for one of Buddha's hungry friends.
