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.
One day classes are for anyone who would like to experience the art of wagashi-making, (Wagashi is a general term for Japanese Sweets)
The purpose of this class is to familiarize you with Japanese sweets making and we will have lots of fun making them, even if they are not perfect!
You will also get to know the history and culture behind mochi and other traditional sweets.
After the class you will be able to taste your creations with a cup of tea or a bowl of Matcha tea for the Nerikiri Wagashi class. (You have the option to take home what you have made in a box).
