Private Wagashi Workshop in Ginza – Japanese Confectionery Art with Master Yoshi
Chuo City (Japan)
Location
Step into a world of craftsmanship, tradition, and seasonal beauty through the art of wagashi — exquisite Japanese confections that reflect nature, time, and culture.
In this exclusive private workshop, you’ll learn directly from Master Yoshi, a seasoned wagashi artisan and the 13th-generation owner of a long-established Japanese sweets shop in Ginza, Tokyo’s most refined neighborhood.
This is not just a cooking class — it’s an intimate cultural exchange and a rare opportunity to experience the techniques, philosophy, and aesthetics behind one of Japan’s most delicate culinary arts.
👨🍳 What You’ll Do:
- Learn the foundations of nerikiri, the most artistic form of wagashi, using sweet bean paste and glutinous rice flour.
- Shape and color seasonal designs — such as cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, or waves — using authentic tools and techniques.
- Enjoy one-on-one guidance in a quiet, focused environment.
- Hear personal stories from Master Yoshi about the history of wagashi and the spirit of hospitality behind every piece.
- Savor your creations with premium Japanese Matcha, served with elegance.
