Wagashi Sweets-Making & Sake Pairing Class in Asakusa

Enjoy a cultural experience in Asakusa by joining a wagashi (Japanese sweets) and sake tasting class. In this small group activity, you’ll learn how to make two beautiful wagashi with the help of Yuko, a skilled teacher who loves sharing Japanese traditions. She’ll teach you about the meaning behind the sweets, the tools used, and how the designs change with the seasons. It’s a great way to try something new while learning about Japanese culture.

After making your sweets, you’ll get to enjoy them with three kinds of sake. This tasting will show you how the gentle sweetness of wagashi goes well with the rich flavors of sake. The class takes place close to Sensoji Temple and Nakamise Street, so it’s a great stop during your day in Asakusa.
