Authentic Japanese Confectionery Wagashi Making
About
In this class, your local host will guide you into the world of Japanese confectionery (Wagashi). We will focus on two of the most popular items—Ichigo Daifuku and Dango—which beautifully reflect Japan's delicate sense of the seasons. You will make both types completely by hand, from preparing the raw ingredients to the final product. Experience the chewy mochi mochi texture and the elegant sweetness of the anko (sweet bean paste), which is incomparable to store-bought items. This is a chance to learn about Japanese culture in the most delicious and enjoyable way.
