What to expect

Japan has four distinct seasons. We enjoy seasonal foods and also savor traditional Japanese sweets that reflect each season. Traditional Japanese sweets are called wagashi. One of the most popular types of wagashi is mochi, which is made from glutinous rice. In this class, you will make three kinds of wagashi, including mochi. You will also enjoy matcha, which has become famous worldwide, not only as a beverage but also as a dessert. In addition, you will learn about various types of Japanese tea and enjoy pairing them with wagashi.
