NEW! Japanese Sweets & Tea Class in Tokyo
Discover the beauty of wagashi, traditional Japanese sweets inspired by the seasons 🌸
Join our hands-on Japanese Sweets & Tea class in Tokyo and experience Japanese culture through taste, tea, and craftsmanship.
No experience needed—just curiosity ✨
Japan has four distinct seasons. We enjoy seasonal foods and also savor traditional Japanese sweets that reflect each season. Traditional Japanese sweets are called wagashi. One of the most popular types of wagashi is mochi, which is made from glutinous rice. In this class, you will make three kinds of wagashi, including mochi. You will also enjoy matcha, which has become famous worldwide, not only as a beverage but also as a dessert. In addition, you will learn about various types of Japanese tea and enjoy pairing them with wagashi.
With the guidance, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of wagashi and Japanese food culture, including the importance of seasonality, ingredient selection, and traditional aesthetics. As part of the class, you will also visit a local supermarket to explore Japanese ingredients used in Wagashi.
