My daughter and I had a wonderful experience at this Wagashi-making class and are so grateful to the instructor for accommodating us when we mistakenly missed our original class time.
The studio is small and intimate, which made the experience feel very personal. We joined a small class and immediately felt welcomed. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and did an excellent job explaining the history, techniques, and cultural significance behind both mochi and nerikiri.
One of the things we loved most was learning how much care and artistry goes into traditional Japanese sweets. The attention to detail was incredible, and we gained a whole new appreciation for Wagashi. Creating the intricate designs was both challenging and fun, and we were proud of what we made.
Not only were the sweets beautiful, but they were delicious as well! My daughter especially enjoyed the hands-on nature of the class.
This was a unique cultural experience that gave us a deeper understanding of Japanese traditions. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo who is interested in food, culture, or family-friendly activities.

Owa was incredibly...
Owa was incredibly friendly, and very warm. Her directions made the location easy to find (a private studio in a residential location), and she taught us not just how to make the beautiful wagashi, but also the history and culture behind them. She also suggested modifications we could make when we made them at home. This was a super fun afternoon, I'll be recommending it to my friends

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable afternoon with Owa. We try to share not only the techniques of wagashi making, but also the history, culture, and seasonal traditions behind each piece, so it means a lot to know that you appreciated those aspects of the experience.
We're also glad you found the directions easy to follow and that you left with ideas for recreating wagashi at home. We hope you'll enjoy making them again and adding your own creative touches.
Thank you for recommending our class to your friends. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back to our studio again someday!

Make beautiful seasonal mochi
Our friend group of 7 participated in this class and absolutely loved it! We got to understand some of the history of mochi and how the seasons are important inspirations in the beautiful presentation. I could not believe how beautiful the mochi were that we created. Our instructor was incredible and facilitated a warm and inviting experience. This would be great for families, couples, friends etc. to do together. At the end we made matcha and enjoyed our delicious treats. I left with a much deeper respect for the art of mochi.

Yukka gave a short presentation of the different kinds of mochi for the different seasons of the year as well as a little background which gave us an understanding of the mochi we were making. She gave such great instructions and was quite organized. She was also very patient since we all have never made mochi before.. We were all quite surprised how beautiful our mochi pieces turned out. Attention to the details made us more appreciative of this art and it was so delicious! We had so much fun!

Mochi lovers beware 😀
The instructor first gave us a little insight into the tradition and various occasions for eating the mochi. Her very good English has made a conversation easy. There were three of us, so she could respond very well to all our questions and we really had a lot of time for talking and making the candy. The matcha ceremony at the end, together with the consumption of the homemade mochi and daifuku, rounded off the 2.5h perfectly.
Great experience for all mochi lovers, we look forward to trying out the recipes at home 😀
