The speed pounding record was brought down hard and fast today as mochi master Mitsuo Nakatani got his hands under the hammer and gave it his best. The fruit of Nakatani's labours was a soft kusa mochi in the shape of the Chinese character "fu". The green deliciousness was spread around the crowd, offering all a taste of the mochi master's hard achievement.
Master Nakatani's record today was a beating of 0.5 seconds, pounding the previous record of 1 second. The Japanese pounder founded the cake shop Nakatanidou (in Japanese), that delivers goods so delicious, "that customers in and out of the country are greatly attracted."
