Ichi, Ni, San!” were cadences heard as teams used kine?to pound the mochigomein one of the six usu?at the annual Orange Coast Optimist Club Mochitsuki Taikai held at Tanaka Farms from early morning to 12 noon on Dec. 30. Some 1,500 OCO members, families, and friends participated in the Japanese-style potluck event to bring good luck for the new year and share knowledge of this once a year mochitsuki Japanese tradition.
The first 450 attendees were treated to loco moco prepared by Jesse James and the OCO crew. Highlighting the morning were 29 enthusiastic Japanese American organizations from Los Angeles and Orange Counties competing in the “Pound-Off Challenge” to make the best kagami mochi to bring in the new year.

Winning first place in the Kagami Mochi Adult Division was East San Gabriel Valley Japanese Community Center, second was won by Orange County Japanese American Association, and taking third was Japanese Speaking Parents Association of Children with Challenges (JSPACC). The Junior Division was won by OCBC JR. YBA, with OCBC Sangha Teens taking second, and third was captured by OCO 10th Grade Octagons. The OCO 2nd Grade Orange Crush Team won the OCO Basketball Division.
