Workers prepare sets of kagamimochi, decorative glutinous rice cakes, made to celebrate the New Year. Okurayama Aoyagi, a long-established seller of Japanese confectioneries in Kohoku Ward, Yokohama, produces them using high-quality glutinous rice from Niigata and Toyama prefectures.
The rice cakes are made by pounding steamed rice grains with pestles, giving them a chewy texture making them easy to bite.
The store is scheduled to make about 1,000 sets of kagamimochi by Monday.
