Never ever I have imagine to visit this place! I always watched the man in action shouting Haik-haik-haik during the Mochi making demonstration. Very fascinating and to my surprise, the mochi is so tender and springy! Also..the mochi is warm! 😍
There are allocated time for the mochi making demonstration, if not mistaken its about 20mins every interval in the morning. Do come by earlier to stand in front to capture clearer video!

You MUST come here if you travel to NARA🍡💫
Nakatanidou (中谷堂) has gained its name when they joined a famous Japanese TV championship program playing the mochi demonstration where the owner will beat on the mochi in a very high speed while the other one will be using a big hammer to do the same at the same time!!
Ever since then, they are having the demonstrations daily in their shop and it has attracted a lot of foreign tourists to shot the video until the extend the staffs will need to stand by the street to ensure the traffic is okay!! When we visited there, the police car even patrolled the place to make sure it does not affect the car drivers.
After the demonstration, remember to buy the fresh mochi as well at JPY 180 and you will be impressed with its taste and texture. They do sell it in a box (prepared earlier) too if you would like to buy some home but making comparison with the fresh 1, there is still same differences. 😅
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In 2024, I wish to travel to Perth!!

Must Try Handmade Nakatanidou Mochi
#fallishere
Nakatanidou is a famous handmade mochi shop with a long history and this snack shop is located just a short walk from Nara Park. You will see a crowd gathering right outside the store as there will be a mochi pounding demonstration that happens every 30 minutes or whenever there is a large tourist group. All their mochi is freshly made and every mochi skin is thin with a chewy texture and stuffed with lots of sweet Japanese sweet bean. The outside of the mochi is coated with soy bean powder. Overall, a great snack that is not overly filling and for 180 yen each, it is super reasonably priced. Grab a box and eat it on the go! Nakatanidou has the best handmade mochi!
