Full Description
Delve into the delicate art of wagashi, traditional Japanese confections inspired by nature, the seasons, and centuries of cultural expression. This private hands-on experience introduces you to the aesthetic and culinary traditions behind Japan’s iconic sweets.
You’ll begin with a guided walk through the historical Yanaka neighborhood, known for its deep ties to Tokyo’s cultural past. Then, enjoy a 2-hour wagashi-making session, where you’ll shape and color your own edible creations under the guidance of local artisans. Each sweet reflects seasonal themes, offering a visual and flavorful introduction to Japan’s nature-centered culture.
