Learn how to create handmade Japanese 'wagashi', meaning sweets, in an adorable cat-shape and a beautiful sakura, both with a soft filling. These 'nerikiri' are a particularly elegant and decorative type of wagashi, often paired with green tea and served at Japanese tea ceremonies. They're as much an art form as they are tasty, often reflecting nature, the seasons, and even poetry.
This will be a small group so you'll get lots of step-by-step guidance from workshop leader and sweets expert Mutsumi, plus the store will be serving tea to enjoy alongside. You'll learn the techniques to recreate the sweets at home and, most importantly, will get to take away your two delicious treats to eat. These sweets will be vegan and gluten-free but not allergen-free. The event is suitable for ages 13+, but we advise children are accompanied by an adult on a separate ticket.
