We had a lovely experience making Mochi with Sakura while in Tokyo. We were a group of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids ranging from 8-12 years old). Everything was well organized and planned. It was great learning about all the different types of mochi for different holidays and their cultural significance. Kids loved the experience of making something and then eating it. Sakura was very sweet with all the kids and it was lovely to be invited into her home. I would highly recommend this experience.
