This was an absolutely wonderful experience with Sakura! She is a a fantastic teacher and host. She provided insights into the history and significance of mochi in Japanese history and culture with a very well prepared presentation. Then we made delicious mochi with an easy to understand method. We had a great time and we will enjoy making mochi when we get home. This was so much fun!!!

Sakura-san was an exceptional theatre, and Choco-chan was an exceptional assistant! Sakura-san was patient with us newbies, explained well, and taught us the history behind mochi making. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in learning more about Japan and their holidays and traditions. Fair warning: after making mochi with Sakura-san, any mochi you will buy, will be a pale imitation!

I think this course was the only time I fully enjoyed myself in Japan. Her presentation was very informative and her teaching style graceful and motivating. Her husband came around for a chat and he was great, too. After we made the Nerikiri we even got to enjoy some Matcha while getting taught how to drink it properly. Would do another course at her house in a heartbeat! Treat yourself and do it, too!

Our friend group did this cooking class together on our first trip to Japan and the ladies were both so sweet and helpful. Everything we learned to make was much easier than expected and the printed instructions are so easy for us to follow at home for a delicious traditional meal.
