A set of giant rice cakes decorated for the New Year were cut into pieces in line with an age-old tradition at a castle in Kyushu, southwestern Japan.
About 40 people attended the event at Kokura Castle in Kitakyushu city on Saturday.
Piled on top of each other, the 3 round mochi cakes weighed more than 300 kilograms. They were decorated on December 25th and left to harden for 2 weeks.
Participants at Saturday's event moved each of the hardened cakes to separate rooms and undertook the task of cutting them up using an 80-centimeter hatchet. The mochi, after they are softened, will be soaked in sweet red bean soup before being served to visitors on Tuesday for free. There will be enough to serve some 2,000 people.
