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.
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.
In Japanese tea ceremony,the sense of the season is highly valued.
So that’s reflected in the sweets as well.
There are various sweets available depending on the season.
We have sweets shaped like seasonal flowers and natural scenery.
Here’s a general overview of how to make it.
1 Roll the kneaded dough and red been paste into balls
2 Flatten the kneaded dough and wrap the red been paste around it
3 Shape the sweets
The shaping method varies depending on the shape of the sweets
Making Wagashi is fun like playing with clay!

★★★★★We had the most amazing experience with Kimie! She met us at the station and walked us to her house where she had prepared our names written in traditional kanji and told us the meanings! The ambience was very traditional with incense, music, and tatami, she even prepared kimonos for us to try on for the tea ceremony! She was a great teacher and we got to make 3 wagashi sweets with different designs and taught us how to make matcha. My mother has bad knees but she didn’t have to kneel during the ceremony as there were some seats which was a relief. Kimie’s friendliness really made the experience very memorable and I would love to do it again! This was a massive highlight of our trip, ありがとうございます！
