New Year’s Good Luck Doggie “Mochi” - PRE-ORDER Only

Please order your Mochi separately from other Holiday items due to the different pickup dates. Available for pickup Sunday, December 28 through Wednesday, December 31 only. We will be open all those days :) This is a pre-order item ONLY (no walk-ins). Last day to pre-order is December 26. Mochi must be refrigerated on day of pickup to enjoy on New Year's Day! Traditionally, KAGAMI Mochi (literally meaning “mirror” rice cakes) is displayed during the New Year. Originating in the Muromachi Period (14th-16th Century), the two round mochi come in two sizes to represent both the years that have gone by and the years that are still to come. The two mochi are stacked (larger on the bottom) and a Japanese tangerine “daidai” is placed on the top. It is said that in Japan, KAGAMI Mochi is placed in the home on or about December 31st and displayed until January 1st for good luck. In Hawaii, many families continue this tradition to ward off evil spirits and to ensure good luck and prosperity in t
