・Nerikiri and some wagashi+ Matcha
Wagashi is a Japanese sweet that has developed along with the tea ceremony culture and expresses the beauty of Japan.
Making sweets according to the season is we pick out baked, steamed, mochi, and other sweets that suit events, celebrations, regions, etc. Japanese people love Wagashi.
We make the ingredients from scratch and even shape them. It mainly contains white bean paste, agar, mochi flour, and sugar. Set with rice balls and miso soup.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.
The Japanese tea ceremony is a centuries-old tradition closely tied to Zen Buddhist principles, and a popular way to experience Japanese culture. There are several variations on this ritual. At its base, powdered green tea (matcha) is prepared and served in accordance with strict rules. Oftentimes, wagashi (Japanese sweets) is served alongside the bitter green tea.
This is a class you make things together from the ingredients. We will help you make things fun even if it's your first time. We will explain the recipe, prepare the ingredients, cook, shape, plate, and even teach you how to make matcha. There will also be a teatime with matcha and handmade Japanese sweets. Since it will be a long class, onigiri, and miso soup will be included.
