What to expect

In this program, you’ll learn how to make traditional Japanese sweets by creating two types of nerikiri.

First, you'll learn how to make nerikiri under the guidance of an expert instructor.
Nerikiri are delicate Japanese sweets carefully crafted to reflect the beauty of nature and the changing seasons—not only pleasing to the taste, but also to the eye.
Made primarily from white bean paste, they have a subtle sweetness and melt gently in the mouth.
With a history of over 300 years, nerikiri are deeply connected to the traditions of the Japanese tea ceremony.
Today, they are often described as "edible works of art".

Next, you'll have the chance to create your own original nerikiri.
Using your imagination, you'll shape and design your sweets—each one becoming a unique work of edible art.

Finally, you'll enjoy your handmade nerikiri along with a bowl of matcha that you whisked yourself.
