This rice mortar was traditionally used in the making of mochi, a Japanese rice dessert. Mochi is made by pounding glutinous rice into a sticky dough ball. Using a wooden pestle, the rice is pounded and kneaded into a sticky mass. This process requires strength and patience, as the rice grains must be thoroughly processed into a cohesive dough.
