Mochi and Nerikiri Wagashi Combination Cooking Class
Description
You'll learn how to make authentic Japanese sweets by easy recipe which can be downloadable. You don't need to bring anything! Everything is provided at the lesson. Solo and family friendly too. This is a private lesson (if your group is more than 3 people), therefore you can learn step by step at your pace. Classes take place in a private residence where you can relaxed in a cozy atmosphere. You can get all the portrait photos and videos taken during the class for your special experience! My class is held in a quiet residential neighborhood, just 15 minutes by train or car from central Tokyo. Before and after the lesson, you can explore local shops, supermarkets, cafes, shrine, and a famous public bath. It’s a great chance to experience the peaceful charm of daily life in Japan—just a short escape from the busy city! The menu is made from plant-based products that are easily available in your own country. Appropriate for vegetarians with vegan options available.

My family (2 adults + 2 17 year olds) was on our first trip to Japan and wanted to experience as much of the culture as possible while also enjoying our love of food. Mochi is a favorite of our daughter and this class was such a fun break for all of us. Being welcomed into Satoko's home was really special and we enjoyed the one on one connection. In additon to guiding us in making beautiful and delicious treats, she provided us with great information on Wagashi. We left understanding the cultural and season significance of the ingredients and when the different types of sweets are prepared and enjoyed. We also gained the confidence to try our hand at making our own treats after returning home!
Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! It was such a pleasure welcoming your lovely family into my home, and I truly enjoyed spending that special time with all of you. I’m especially happy that you enjoyed not only making and tasting mochi, but also learning about the culture, seasons, and traditions behind wagashi. I hope you have lots of fun recreating them back home! Thank you again for choosing my class, and I hope to welcome you all again someday. And please say hello to "Mochi", your lovely cat, from me!
I really enjoyed the wagashi class, definitely one of the highlights during my trip to Japan. It was so cool to learn how to make the wagashi as well as learning more about the Japanese culture. Satoko was an incredible teacher as well. I highly recommend a visit here!

I really enjoyed this traditional Japanese dessert making class. The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the class easy to follow. I’m not usually very good at baking, but my desserts turned out beautiful! I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in Japanese desserts and the cultural significance behind them! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was such a fun class with all of you, and I’m so happy you enjoyed making wagashi and learning about its cultural background. I was so impressed with how well you all did! Thank you again for joining, and I’d love to welcome you back for another wagashi lesson someday.
I had such a fulfilling time at this class! Satoko, the instructor, taught us not only the joy of making Wagashi but also the history behind it, which made the experience so much richer. Everything ran smoothly, and we even got to whisk our own matcha, which I loved. She also gave us tips on how to take Instagram-worthy photos and was super supportive when we wanted to snap pictures, so I’d especially recommend this to younger visitors. It was an amazing experience!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I had such a enjoynable time with you all. I hope you can enjoy making Wagashi at home, too. See you next time!!

Satoko was an awesome host and a fantastic teacher. This was a great family activity that taught us a lot about the history of these delicious desserts. We also got to explore a cute neighborhood on the way to our class that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen.

I was specifically interested in learning how to make and work with nerikiri. Satoko san put together a wonderful experience for me. The seasonal designs she chose for the class exceeded my expectation and the resulting pieces were amazing. Awesome sensei, awesome experience. Thank you, Satoko san!
