                Sticky rice, they are pounding sticky rice, glutinous rice, I believe it is called.  they pound it till it makes a cake of soft sticky rice!

                It's all very interesting. I've had 
mochi before, but had no idea how it was made. And I love your pictures of the process...

                Great to read you again, KaBooM.  May I ask, what exactly are they pounding in the container?
