This class was super fun! Yuko-sensei is a gracious host and an excellent teacher. The class is a cozy and welcoming experience in her home, and you'll leave with cute and delicious goodies 💕 I have to be gluten free, so it was really great to have a few experiences I could freely enjoy without worry. Yuko-sensei was very conscientious about allergies and communicated ahead of time to ensure everything was fine. Since I got two lessons, I was able to do them back to back which was very nice! You'll have a great time, get some tasty recipes to replicate at home, and a chance to explore a very cute neighborhood. Go for it!! (Doubling this review for both my taiyaki and wagashi classes. Both were fantastic!)

Perfect for vegan enthusiasts and mochi lovers alike, these classes will introduce you to the art of crafting mochi that is both ethically satisfying and delicious.

Mochi, a beloved staple in Japanese cuisine, traditionally consists of glutinous rice pounded into a sticky, chewy paste. It's not only consumed on its own but is also a key ingredient in various sweet and savory dishes.

Here, our cooking classes are specifically designed to overcome this challenge by focusing on vegan versions of both classic and contemporary mochi dishes. You will learn how to select the right ingredients, master the techniques, and blend flavors that respect your lifestyle choices without compromising on taste.

These cooking experiences are designed to be informal yet informative, offering you the chance to learn through doing. During the class, you'll share the kitchen space with fellow mochi enthusiasts, enjoying a social environment that's perfect for exchanging tips and experiences. Not only will you enhance your cooking repertoire, but you'll also come away with a deeper understanding of vegan substitutions and how to creatively incorporate them into everyday meals.
