Tokyo Matcha Food Experiences(25)

Our mochi class with Satoko-san was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we stepped into her cozy studio, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that immediately made us feel at home. Satoko-san's friendly demeanor and passion for sharing her culture shone through every aspect of the class. Throughout the session, not only did we learn the intricate art of making mochi, but Satoko-san also took the time to delve into the rich tapestry of Japanese culture and tradition. From the significance of mochi in celebratory events like New Year's to its symbolic importance in weddings and other ceremonies, we gained a deeper appreciation for the role mochi plays in Japanese life. What truly set this experience apart was Satoko-san's ability to seamlessly blend tradition with modernity. As we crafted our own mochi under her expert guidance, she shared stories of how this centuries-old delicacy has evolved to suit contemporary tastes and lifestyles. From innovative flavor combinations to creative presentation ideas, we discovered a whole new world of mochi beyond the traditional varieties. By the end of the class, not only did we learn the art of mochi-making, but we also left with a newfound understanding of Japanese culture and customs. The experience was not just about food; it was a journey of cultural immersion and appreciation. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Satoko-san's mochi class highly enough. Whether you're a food enthusiast, a cultural explorer, or s

We had such a lovely time in our mochi + wagashi making class with Miyuki. It was a highlight of our time in Tokyo with our five-year-old. The perfect family activity.

We had a great time with Ayumi, starting with a brief tour of the temple and then a walking tour of the market, where we got to visit several food stalls and sample a variety of fresh fish and other delicacies. Ayumi shared her knowledge of local foods and also gave us tips about different restaurants to try. We enjoyed chatting with her at John Lennon’s favorite coffee shop inside the market. We also enjoyed our time with a sushi chef, who showed us his knife skills and how to assemble our own fish and rice bowl. .It was great to have an expert guide us around the crowded market and make the experience so educational as well as fun.
