Punish Bread Dough Through Massive Beatings

This is how you make bread. By delivering unto it shots of furious anger. With mallets a strong hand. On TV. In Japan.

Actually, what they're doing is pounding mochi, a type of sticky rice.

yeah, they're definitely making mochi. typicallt white but i guess they've added green tea powder or something else to change the color and slightly alter the taste.
 
That is all kinds of cool.
 
We saw this type of mochi being prepared in this exact manner in Nara a couple years ago. Food is better once slammed by hammers.
 
Oh yeah, the timing is everything. This is a new year's treat, done in the traditional manner.
