Mochi is killing more people than homicide in Japan ðŸ˜
This is crazy
I’m sure the country Japan will find a way to blame this on foreigners…….
While the article is indeed about tragic news, I find this portion interesting:
>In 2001, a woman reportedly saved her father’s life when she [used a vacuum cleaner](https://www.news24.com/choking-man-saved-with-vacuum-cleaner-20010106?ftag=YHF4eb9d17) to dislodge mochi from his throat.
If it is effective then this should be endorsed as a first aid life-saving procedure for such cases then lol.
Remember to always take tiny bites!
