This was an amazing experience! It was all very professional, and they were able to explain how to make your Amezaiku even if you don’t speak Japanese. The person leading the workshop was also very nice. They let you practice twice, which made the experience more fun! I highly recommend this place!

Sakura San welcomed us into her lovely home. We had the opportunity to work hands on to prepare traditional mochi dango and daifuku. I learned so much both about Japanese traditions and how these are eaten and gained the confidence to try them at home in the US. Worth every penny. A one of a kind experience.

Private Mochi Sweets Making Class in Setagaya (Tokyo)
Cooking Classes
I recently had the pleasure of attending a wagashi class with Yukiko Uramoto, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Yukiko welcomed us with a warm and bright smile to her cozy home, with her dining room and kitchen serving as the perfect classroom setting. As Vegans, we were particularly impressed by how thoughtfully Yukiko adapted the ingredients, ensuring that we could fully enjoy every aspect of the class. Yukiko’s passion for Japanese culture and food was evident throughout, and she patiently guided us through each step with care and enthusiasm. We learned how to make several traditional wagashi, including the Hanami Dango, Fruits Daifuku, Warabi Mochi, and Ice Cream Mochi. By the end of the class, we were treated to a delightful tasting session, when Yukiko served us green tea and a special Isobe Mochi, which was a delicious and unexpected treat. Overall, it was a 5/5 experience. Highly recommended for Vegans, and anyone interested in learning more about Japanese sweets and culture!

Mochi Making Class in Yokohama: Make Japanese Sweets
Cooking Classes
Our instructor was welcoming, inspiring, and very attentive! She offered different options to enjoy this delicious and cultural sweet. Yukiko Uramoto explained to us how to make mochi and its significance. The way to knead the Hanami Dango, roll it, mix it to achieve the desired color, and place it in water until it floats. The Warabi Mochi made in the copper pan brought back memories of my grandmother, the mochi ice cream bit was very considered to include vegans by not using milk and eggs in the ice cream. We also tasted a delicious Mochi rolled up in seaweed, a delicious dish to start the day! I highly recommend this experience to everyone! Thank you so much.
