omochi-jung

I am omochi-jung, which comes from mochi (rice cake). Mochi is a dish eaten during the New Year in Japan, and there are various ways to enjoy it in different regions. That is why I like mochi and also like doing research on human thought. Here, I share the Japanese perspectives regarding my favorite topics, foods and anime.
