I purchased this about two years ago and have been storing it in a cupboard. I tried it once when I bought it, but I never had any leftover mochi, so it just sat unused. I didn't have any leftover mochi this year either, haha. The condition is very good, but I've lost the attached plastic spatula. Because of the thinness of the item, it will be simply packaged in a double layer of a plastic bag and paper envelope. Please be aware of this beforehand.
