Learn How to Make Beautiful and Delicious Wagashi Sweets in Tokyo

Your experience takes place at a small, quaint wagashi shop located in Shinjuku, where you will be greeted by the second-generation chief chef, your instructor for the class. You will be making 4 pieces of nerikiri, a kind of wagashi made of sweet white bean paste and mochi. The delicate taste and sophisticated beauty of nerikiri are sure to delight not only your appetite, but your eyes as well.

First, watch closely and learn as the chef demonstrates how to make nerikiri, then it's your turn to show your skills! Delicately form the colored dough into various shapes by hand, and carefully add lines with tools to perfectly portray the seasonal beauty of Japan. Even if you don't have experience in making Japanese sweets, no need to worry as the chef will guide you through every step of the way.

After taking pictures of your freshly-created masterpieces, let's try one of them with a bowl of delicious Japanese tea. Too beautiful to eat? Take the remaining three with you and enjoy looking at them for a little longer!
