Discover the art of wagashi — traditional Japanese sweets inspired by the beauty of the seasons.

This private two-hour workshop (up to 3 participants) introduces nerikiri, a delicate confection made from white bean paste and mochi. Each session follows a seasonal theme, with designs and colors reflecting nature — from soft spring blossoms to autumn leaves.

During the workshop, you will learn:

• How to prepare and handle nerikiri dough using carefully selected ingredients
• Coloring and shaping techniques with traditional tools
• The meaning behind seasonal motifs and how they are expressed in wagashi

With step-by-step guidance, you will create four handmade nerikiri, each with its own form, color, and character.
All materials and tools are provided — you can simply focus on the process.

At the end of the session, your sweets will be carefully packaged to take home — perfect to share or enjoy with tea.

The workshop includes:

• All ingredients and use of tools
• Elegant packaging for your creations
• Japanese tea, light snacks, and refreshments

Whether you are new to wagashi or already familiar with Japanese sweets, this workshop offers a calm and creative way to experience Japanese culture through taste, form, and seasonality.
