Zoni
Jan 8th, 2010 by Ad Blankestijn
Zoni or the New Year soup consisting of white miso with rice cakes (mochi) is literally a “killing” dish. The half-molten rice cakes get extremely sticky and every year several persons – mostly elderly – choke on them. But zoni remains a fixed part of the New Year meal. The advice is to use smaller mochi and to take small bites off them – take care not to suck them up with the miso soup!
