Mochi and Green Tea

No pictures this time. Sorry. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of mochi. I dislike it so much that I even ask people not to put mochi in my ozoni soup during New Year's. However, freshly made mochi is a different story. I love it. I'll be a bit vague to avoid revealing my exact location, but in my area, there are a few places that serve freshly made mochi during New Year's. Even though I don't eat mochi at all usually, I eat more than my fair share of freshly made mochi. I enjoy it with kinako (roasted soybean flour), soy sauce, or sweet bean paste. I thought I'd get tired of it after eating too much, but then I realized something! About three years ago, I discovered that after eating plenty of mochi, drinking green tea with it was like, 'Whoa, this is amazing! It goes so well together!' Ever since then, I always prepare green tea when I eat mochi.
