渋谷近郊の民家でおもちスイーツ教室（ヴィーガン）

My family had a great experience at this Mochi making class. The instructor was so patient with my boys and she made this process seem easy. We had fun and enjoyed the fruits of our labor!

I wanted to take a mochi course with a friend during our trip to Japan, and we chose this one. We were greeted by the sweet little poodle Choco and Sakura-Sensei, while the dog stayed outside during the course. Sakura-Sensei is very charming and speaks quite good English, which allowed us to have a good conversation. In addition to the actual making of the sweets, she also shared some background knowledge about some traditional mochi-like sweets, as well as some history about her neighborhood, and was able to recommend a temple that we could directly include in our travel plans. I found it a bit funny that there was a dedicated photo spot for the sweets. Unfortunately, I am not skilled at photographing food, but it was a cute idea :D

I am traveling w my 19 years old to Japan. We both attended this class and enjoyed it a great deal. The class was conducted in a private home. Love the comfortable home warm setting. We love it d much. We are planning to schedule a different class a the same teacher.

Well prepared and natural atmosphere for making japanese sweets. Instructor was very helpful with answering questions while keeping the flow of lesson going. The end result was very delicious! I have been looking for high sugar dessert replacements and I think learning about Japanese sweets is a step in the right direction! I also learned some culture and got to converse some about Japanese food!

The class was very informative and the sweets were great! She was very careful about gluten and explained reasons why gluten may be present in other recipes

This was a lovely private mochi making experience where my family and I felt welcome into Sakura‘s home. Not only did we make some delicious mochi, but we learned about significance of mochi in Japanese culture. Her home is located in a residential neighborhood, so it was one of the few activities we did on our trip where we were getting a glimpse of non-touristy life in Japan. The preparations for the mochi making were well done and thought out, and we felt comfortable, taken care of, and had fun.

This was an amazing and informative experience and I’d highly recommend it to anyone coming to Tokyo. We did this on my daughter’s birthday and Sakura made it extra special for her. It’s not only a fun experience but we learnt a lot about the related rituals and customs. Highly recommended!

Making mochi with Sakura san was a highlight of our 10 days in Japan. Kids and we had so much fun and joining in her home made it extra special.

Very unique experience! Sakura is a kind and knowledgeable instructor. She welcomed us into her home and had the ingredients laid out on the kitchen table. She started with a short presentation on the different types of mochi in the Japanese culture and the celebrations they are used in. She then gave us step by step instructions on making 4 different types of mochi. We had tea and water throughout then sampled our creations at the end. Sakura gave us recommendations in the area which we followed including visiting the Meguro river walk. It was a vibrant scenery with Cherry blossoms at this time of year. Thank you Sakura for this amazing experience. The kids (11 and 12) asked us after we left your home if we can book another class with you 🤗

Sakura was absolutely wonderful and the mochi class was one of the too experiences of our entire Japan trip. We have done a ton up and down the country and this stood out. We will definitely be coming back for another class our next trip back. 10 out of 10. 🙂
