Nerikiri Wagashi-Making with Tea Ceremony (2 Hr)
About this experience
The art of making nerikiri, a type of Japanese wagashi, is about more than taste. Nerikiri are handmade to be artistic and beautiful, often shaped to reflect seasonal flowers and natural motifs.
In this class, you’ll learn to create different nerikiri designs depending on the season, using traditional Japanese tools and techniques to shape each piece. These delicate sweets pair perfectly with the calm setting of a Japanese tea house. Enjoy a relaxing cup of green tea alongside the subtle flavors of your handmade confections—a must-try for those wanting to experience Japan’s traditional culture. After making the dough, shape your nerikiri into beautiful designs, then savor your creations during a classic Japanese tea ceremony.
