Mochi is mainly spoken in a few villages along the Ruvuma River in Tanzania.

At the festival, I bought a skewer of grilled mochi and ate it while watching the parade.

At the festival, we shared mochis and tea under the lanterns.

For dessert at the luau, I brought a tray of butter mochi that everyone loved.

Before boarding the bus, the hikers double-checked their mochilas to make sure nothing was left behind.

The old cowboy adjusted the mochila to make sure it lay flat over the saddle tree before riding out across the plain.

I used mochiko to make soft, chewy mochi for the New Year's celebration.
