In this experience, you will make popular Japanese sweets and authentic Matcha green tea entirely by your own hands.
Completely Handmade: We use absolutely no pre-made ingredients. You will be meticulously guided to create all three items—Ichigo Daifuku, Dango, and Matcha—from scratch with your own hands.
Ichigo Daifuku (Strawberry Mochi): Experience the process of wrapping fresh, seasonal strawberries and smooth sweet bean paste (anko) in soft gyūhi (a type of mochi). This is one of the most popular Japanese sweets.
Mitarashi Dango and Anko Dango: Start from kneading the rice flour dough for the dumplings, rolling them, and then steaming (or boiling) them. You will then coat them with savory-sweet Mitarashi glaze or serve them with elegant Anko (sweet red bean paste).
Authentic Matcha Experience: You will personally whisk and prepare Matcha (green tea), an inseparable partner to Wagashi. Enjoy the perfect combination of your handmade sweets and a traditional cup of tea.
For participants under the age of 3 or aged 65 and older, we may offer an alternative Japanese confectionery making experience due to the risk of choking on certain foods.
