What are wagashi and nerikiri?

Wagashi are traditional Japanese sweets often enjoyed with tea. Nerikiri is a type of wagashi made mainly from white bean paste and shaped into seasonal designs inspired by nature.

What will I make during the workshop?

You will make two types of nerikiri Japanese sweets. You’ll first learn the techniques from the instructor, then create your own original design.

Are the ingredients vegetarian or allergy-friendly?

The sweets are made using white bean paste and other plant-based ingredients, so they are vegetarian-friendly. If you have specific allergies or dietary needs, please mention them in the booking form. We’ll do our best to accommodate, but we can’t guarantee changes without advance notice.

Is this experience suitable for beginners?

Yes. The workshop is beginner friendly and includes step-by-step guidance from an instructor.

Will I prepare matcha during the experience?

Yes. You will whisk your own matcha and enjoy it with the sweets you make.
