"Wonderful experience! Highly recommend!"

We had a great time making mochi in this class (I believe we were one of the last to do so in the instructor's home as she was about to move to a nearby studio). I'm sure either way would be great. What I loved about the class was that it was the perfect balance of everything! We learned about the history of mochi making, it's significance to Japanese culture and holidays, then we got to make different types. Even then, some steps were prepared for us before hand to make the best use of our time (after all, it's fun to do something like this, but we're still tourists who have limited overall time in Japan - so I really appreciated this thoughtful step). This step allowed us to learn HOW to do it, while only focusing on the essential steps. Of course, at the end of the session, we got to taste all of the different kinds of mochi! Oishii!!! I would highly recommend this to friends and family!
