Experience Details
Wagashi are traditional Japanese sweets known for their delicate shapes, gentle sweetness, and seasonal beauty.
In this online workshop, you can learn this centuries-old craft from your own kitchen, no matter where you are in the world, using simple tools and ingredients provided by your host.
Your instructor, Kaoru, is certified by the Wagashi Association of Japan and has over a decade of experience in wagashi and sugar craft.
She will begin by sharing the cultural background and history of wagashi before guiding you step by step through the making process in a relaxed, hands-on format.
You can choose between two styles. The first is nerikiri, soft and decorative sweets often enjoyed with matcha.
In this option, you will prepare the dough, add color, shape two pieces, and finish them with intricate designs.
The second option is mochi wagashi, where you will make a variety of chewy sweets, including strawberry daifuku, mochi ice cream, and three-colored dango.
A list of ingredients and utensils will be provided after booking, so you can prepare in advance.
With just a microwave and a few basic tools, you will be ready to create traditional Japanese sweets and enjoy them fresh from your own home.
