I loved my experience at Ameshin! There were instructions in English and the instructor was able to communicate instructions well. I loved the little bunny I made in the class and the process really made me appreciate the skill and experience that goes into making the pieces they sell in the shop. My class was just me and 6 middle schools students who made absolutely adorable pieces. The location of the workshop is also really nice because it’s very close to the Senso-Jo temple in Akasuka. I would 100% recommend this workshop and do it again!

We had a lot of fun during the wagashi class. After a short introduction with a lot of interesting information about the topic, we formed our own wagashi under patient expert guidance. The atmosphere was relaxed, funny and very pleasant. Sensei has profound knowledge, created a pleasent atmosphere and speaks excellent Englisch.

Traditional Sweets (Nerikiri) Making with Tea Ceremony

I recently had the pleasure of attending Emiko-san's Mixology Workshop.
The workshop was nicely organized and it took place in a lovely traditional room with lots of space and decorations to take photos with.
I could really feel Emiko-san's knowledge and passion for tea. My favourite part was watching her demonstration on how to recreate the construction of these drinks.
I felt I was in safe hands we began designing our own teas mocktails with her supervision.
I give Emiko-san and her team big extra points for accommodating my gluten and dairy sensitivities!
I had a wonderful time at the tea design workshop. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a big tea fan, who wants to get creative with food and is looking an activity that balances traditional and modern aspects of Japan.

Really fun experience while we were staying in Osaka: the recipes were simple and easy to follow, the group was small and the teacher was great (very good English as well). We can’t wait to recreate these at home.
