Nooow then! I have safely obtained the mallet, so let’s get the Mochi pounding started!

… When I enthusiastically returned home, I remembered that I didn’t do any prior preparations…
I didn’t know whether I will be able to obtain a mallet, so it can’t be helped .

Deciding to leave the Mochi pounding for tomorrow, I submerged the sticky rice in water .
It has to be properly soaked in cold water or the hulls will remain even after steaming .

I have strictly warned everyone in the kitchen, this is rice for a new dish, so make sure not to cook it!
It wouldn’t be a joke if I woke up in the morning at it had been cooked…

I reviewed the plans with a strainer in a pot that I will use instead of a steamer .
Ah… I forgot about the Mochi powder!
I’m glad I remembered .
There’s no Mochi powder! I’m glad it didn’t turn out like that…

If I’m not mistaken, potato starch or non-glutinous rice should be fine . Non-glutinous rice… that’s just a rice powder, right?
I did make it once when I was polis.h.i.+ng rice for the first time with magical power…

I picked the rice form the corner of the kitchen, and broke the rice into small pieces while imagining pulverizing it with magical power .

O… ou . Pulverizing uncooked rice… I’m quite scary if I say so myself .
After turning the rice into small pieces, I crushed it even more in a mortar and turned it into a fine powder . That should be it for Mochi powder .
… I might be able to make a rice flour for dumplings in this way too… let’s give it a try next time .

All that’s left is a stone mortar… I tried creating it from Earth magic by depending on the memories of my past life . I have to imagine a proper toughness too… confirm the size of the mallet . Yeah, looks good .

I dipped the mallet into water overnight so the tip wouldn’t break . With this, is all I should have done yesterday finished?
All that’s left is to pound and steam Mochi to my heart’s content tomorrow . Ahh, I’m looking forward to it!

As for the Mochi pounding, it should be all right even for me if I strengthen my body with magic, but I decided to ask Kurogane just in case .
Rather than a pipsquak like me, it would be better if Kurogane pounded it thoroughly .
I’m the person in charge .

I have roughly explained the procedure to Mas.h.i.+ro and Kurogane so it should be all right .

Also, I’m thinking of involving s.h.i.+n in tomorrow’s Mochi pounding .
s.h.i.+n might possibly not now of Mochi though…

From what I heard from Sei, Omochi exists in Yahatul as well, so I would like s.h.i.+n to learn how to make it . s.h.i.+n’s Otousama might have eaten it too as it’s food from his birthplace after all .

… Just kidding . I want hands for making Mochi . It would be faster with more people, but I have to choose carefully as they might get seduced by the taste… although I say that, everyone in the kitchen got interested after hearing the words “new dish,” so I decided to make samples with my little hands while letting s.h.i.+n, Kurogane and Mas.h.i.+ro make the normal-sized Mochi .
If possible, I would like to make Kiri Mochi too…
… It seems we will have to make Mochi in the Capital… it seems I will have to secretly put the tools into my Inventory and make it while putting up a barrier…

—————————

After that, I spend my time by thinking of toppings that would match Mochi and prepared for the visit of the Capital .

Ahh, won’t it become tomorrow soon…
