Traditionally, mochi was made from whole rice, in a labor-intensive process. The traditional mochi-pounding ceremony in Japan is mochitsuki:

Polished glutinous rice is soaked overnight and steamed.
The steamed rice is mashed and pounded with wooden mallets (kine) in a traditional mortar (usu).The work involves two people, one pounding and the other turning and wetting the substance the mochi.They must keep a steady rhythm or they may accidentally injure each other with the heavy kine.
The sticky mass can be eaten immediately or formed into various shapes (usually a sphere or cube).
