Discover the art of wagashi — Japanese seasonal sweets inspired by nature.
Join us for a two-hour hands-on workshop introducing nerikiri, the delicate Japanese confection made from white bean paste and mochi.
Each month features a new seasonal theme inspired by nature — from spring blossoms to autumn leaves — with designs and colors that reflect the beauty of the changing seasons.
During the session, you’ll learn:
- How to prepare and handle nerikiri dough made from fine ingredients
- Coloring and shaping techniques using traditional tools
- The meanings behind seasonal motifs and how they are expressed in wagashi design
Under step-by-step guidance, you’ll create four handmade nerikiri, each with its own shape, color, and flavor.
All materials and tools are provided — just bring your curiosity and creativity.
At the end of the class, your sweets will be beautifully packaged to take home, perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying with a cup of tea.
The workshop fee includes:
- All ingredients and use of tools
- Elegant packaging for your creations
- A selection of Japanese tea, snacks, and refreshments during the session
Whether you’re completely new to wagashi or already familiar with Japanese sweets, this two-hour workshop offers a peaceful, creative way to experience the seasons through taste, color, and craftsmanship — one sweet at a time.
