Seasonal Wagashi Sweets Making Class in Yokohama

Japanese wagashi sweets are often aptly described as edible art — intricate and delicate creations with motifs that draw from nature and reflect seasonality. In this homely sweets-making class near the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, you will join a tea ceremony master in making five seasonal wagashi sweets. Your host will choose a motif and type of wagashi for you to make inspired by the season. Get creative, learn the intricate craft of these Japanese sweets, and enjoy a wagashi treat with a cup of matcha green tea expertly prepared by your host. Itinerary: -Meet your host at Azamino Station. She will take you to the venue by car. -Make seasonal wagashi (the exact type to be made will depend on the season). -Enjoy eating a piece of your homemade wagashi with matcha green tea prepared by the host, a tea ceremony master.
