This wagashi making class in Tokyo is a simple way to discover a traditional part of Japanese culture through a hands-on experience. You learn how to make nerikiri, a type of delicate sweet made from plant-based ingredients, often served during tea ceremonies.

Step by step, you shape and design three seasonal wagashi using traditional techniques, while understanding their meaning and connection to nature. The pace is calm and focused, making it easy to follow even if you’ve never done it before.

After the workshop, you prepare your own matcha and learn the basics of Japanese tea etiquette. It’s a good option if you want a creative and cultural experience that combines food, tradition and a slower moment during your trip.
