This was such an amazing experience for my family. My husband and I took our kids and it was so much fun. Sakura gave us a brief overview of Japan culture and the significance of mochi and then we got to make several different kinds. It was a unique and memorable experience. Highly recommend!

This was a true hi-light of our trip. Yoko was both kind and welcoming to our party. She went out of her way to accommodate us even though I got the time wrong. So appreciated the menu, which took into account our vegetarian guest. We were truly delighted with the class and our experience. I highly recommend the class. Thank you, Yoko

This was a fantastic experience and the sensei was so kind and patient. And the English interpreter Lucy was so helpful. We enjoyed both making the confections and the tea ceremony and learning the culture and background and history.
