Wagashi Making Workshop (Japanese Sweets)

March 4 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Nerikiri (Japanese sweets wagashi) making workshop – Peach blossom

In Japan, it is customary to celebrate the Momo no sekku (peach festival) in March. In this workshop, we will make Nerikiri peach blossoms and peach fruits. Let’s enjoy making nerikiri with spring-like colors together.

Nerikiri were originally made to be served at Japanese tea ceremonies and are one style of Japanese sweets. Nerikiri is made by mixing and kneading white butter-bean paste and mochi rice dough.
