Japanese Mochi and Sweets Making in a Local Kyoto Home

During this experience, you’ll be welcomed into our real Kyoto home, where we’ll make traditional Japanese sweets together in a relaxed and friendly setting. I’ll introduce you to the ingredients and techniques, and we’ll create beautiful seasonal wagashi step by step, with plenty of time to ask questions, taste, and enjoy the process.

You’ll be able to:
• Learn how Japanese sweets are made in an actual home kitchen
• Shape, decorate, and personalize your own sweets
• Enjoy them with Japanese tea while chatting in a casual, friendly atmosphere
• Experience local Kyoto hospitality — pets included!
• See a peaceful neighborhood away from the tourist crowds
• Take home the skills and confidence to recreate these sweets yourself
• Receive a digital recipe booklet after the workshop

This activity is beginner-friendly and suitable for adults and children of all ages. You don’t need any cooking experience — just curiosity and a love of sweet things! You’ll leave not only with your handmade treats, but with warm memories of visiting a Kyoto home and sharing a cultural moment together.
