Join me for a hands-on lesson that lasts about 2 hours, where you can enjoy making and tasting five different kinds of mochi: Fruits Daifuku Mochi, Three-Color Dango (mochi on skewers), Warabi Mochi, Isobe-Mochi (savory grilled mochi with soy sauce and nori seaweed), and Mochi Ice Cream.
During the class, you'll also learn about the deep cultural significance of mochi in Japanese tradition, providing a wonderful gateway to understanding Japan.
