Reviews

 ​"Terrific Event!  Chef Kaori was fun, professional, and organized.  My team all had a great time learning how to make mochi, and even inventing some new flavors...
Highly recommended for a
​teambuilding event. " 
- E. Porter from Autodesk (via Verlocal.com)
 "Fun, hands-on class with Kaori and her mom. Kaori thoroughly explained all of the ingredients we were working with and we enjoyed a delicious soup with mochi, too. Our take-home containers of mochi treats are sure to be enjoyed by our friends and family if we can resist eating all of the delicious creations ourselves!" -Janet from Verlocal.com
"Kaori is a wonderful instructor. I really loved being able to learn how to make mochi from her. There was a lot to taste and learn! We got to taste a Japanese new years mochi soup, which was a yummy and nourishing soup for the soul. And then we got a hands on experience making 3 types of mochi we got to take home...I look forward to taking more from her." -H. from Verlocal.com
​"I LOVED this class with Kaori. Kaori and her mother were so sweet and laid-back. It was so fun to learn how to make mochi and taste different kinds. What is most important to me when I take cooking classes is feeling like I can make it when I get home. I felt that way and can't wait to take another class with Kaori! :)" -Diane from Verlocal.com
​"Fun class, with loads of hands-on experience and opportunity to taste :) " -Sophie from Verlocal.com

Mochi making is a paramount tradition that brings joy and delight to every generation of the Japanese people. I am so happy that Kaori put together this book so the magic of mochi can be shared with everyone.

Kaori isn’t just teaching you how to make mochi. She’s teaching the art as well as the technique behind each adorable design, breaking it down so that it’s super easy to follow. She connects you to her heritage throughout the book and shows you the endless sweet possibilities with mochi!

​Kaori Becker shows us everything we need to know about the marvelous world of mochi! ​
— Daniel Shumski, author of How to Instant Pot and Will It Waffle?

Thank you, Kaori Becker, for generously, lovingly sharing your mochi-making expertise with us! Mochi Magic, with its oodles of adorable, doable mochi sweets, is a perfect blend of instruction and inspiration. Kaori-san, you are our mochi muse!
​— Elizabeth Andoh, founder of A Taste of Culture

Mochi is an important part of the food landscape in Japan, from an ingredient in savory soups to sweet strawberry-stuffed ichigo daifuku. Mochi Magic shows how absolutely simple it is to make at home, even in my tiny Japanese kitchen! ​
