The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.
In this class, you can learn the history of japanese rice cake, mochi. In the lesson, you will make Daifuku and three coloured dango. There will also be a demonstration of how to make mochi-ice-cream, warabi-mochi and isobe-mochi which you can taste with green tea.

★★★★★This was such a lovely experience. Kaoru was a great teacher, and we left feeling we can try to make our own sweets too, but also with a greater knowledge about the cultural significance and traditional ingredients used. She also provided us my with lovely photos of us all doing the class..highly recommend!
