Overview

This class will not only teach how to make mochi, but also you will learn the cultural importance of it. You will also learn some useful tricks on how to handle this very sticky dough. With guidance from a certified instructor, you will learn the basic techniques in making the sweets so that you can recreate them yourself.

When you are finished you will be able to taste your creations with a bowl of matcha that you will learn how to make yourself. The instructor will teach you the etiquette in drinking matcha as well as the tradition and spirit of Chado (tea ceremony)

This cooking class is held at a private studio in Tokyo where you can get an insight into life in Tokyo from a local as well as advice on tourist attractions and shopping.
