What to Expect

The class will begin with making the Nerikiri dough made from sweet white bean paste, sugar and mochi powder, then proceed to coloring and shaping the dough. The course will finish with tasting your creations with a bowl of matcha green tea. You can also take the wagashi home in a box.

Nerikiri dough is made from kidney bean paste and Mochi. The dough is soft and glutinous. Easy to mold into various shapes like flowers and leaves.You will learn to make Mochi dishes including Strawberry Daifuku, Warabi Mochi using tofu and Nerikiri wagashi. The class is served with Matcha Tea Ceremony.

Located in central Tokyo, this is the place where you will be able to enjoy cooking in a cozy and friendly atmosphere.

Meet Your Host

Miyuki

My love of culinary arts began at the age of 9 when I first baked a St. Patrick's Day cake for my school in Anchorage Alaska using a Betty Crocker Cake Mix. Since then, cooking and baking has been my passion. I've travelled to almost 40 countries and I love to meet people and learn their culture. Now I enjoy teaching Japanese food and culture to foreigners here in Tokyo.

Japanese most popular desserts:

Strawberry Daifuku Mochi (2 pieces)

Mochi making class

The sensei demonstrated well the steps of making mochi. I wish there is a cook top for each student so we can have a better hands-on experience. Having said that, the class was well run and fun! I enjoyed it very much!
