Glutinous rice, food coloring, red bean paste, potato starch, bonito broth or halal miso soup, soy sauce, seaweed, matcha, “Mitarashi” paste, “Kinako” roasted soybean flour, mochi ice cream "Yukimi", crispy wafer "Monaka", dumpling "Dango", snacks "Okaki", New Year soup "Zouni", red rice "Sekihan" etc.
*Just an example. *Strawberry in winter and spring.
Pounding requires traditional tools and preparations, so even Japanese people only just buy ready-made mochi at the store or look it nostalgically at local events around New Year. You can do a rare experience here. Wooden mortars and pestles are traditional, and smaller size for every age can hold safe. And you also enjoy seeing electric mochi machine I use as an aid in action.
Let’s enjoy mold mochi dough just like clay play and pound exciting together as a child again in my room!
- If you like "sushi”, I also have other sushi class.
I am certified sushi and mochi, and I have 13 years of teaching experience for 4,000+ people, and I teach at the Tokyo Sushi Academy: Japan Sushi Instructors Association. My classes and works have been featured in 50+ media around the world.
As a teacher, I think it is important to enjoy the first step in order to learn more deeply. That's why we created this unique entertainment class.
I have 4 children, so families with children are also welcome. The cozy rooms near Tsukiji Market are full of items that anyone can freely touch, such as Japanese cookbooks, cooking utensils, comics, and toys.
I have experience in the dormitory of Peking University, a homestay in Los Angeles, and an art school in Houston. The people were kind, and I had a lot of cultural experiences. Now it's your turn to experience Japanese culture in a fun way!

★★★★★We did the cooking class for Mochi making and it was a lot of fun. Especially the pounding of it! Also, Mami taught us about Dango making. And, not to forget the japanese sweets taste tasting, which was a very delicious treat! Thank you Mami for such an interesting and delicious class. Best wishes from Europe.

★★★★★I’ve never experienced such a lovely, heartwarming and welcoming person/sensei I took a class with. Mami is a wonderful teacher with a lot of knowledge in her field. She’s not only an excellent mochi expert but also very knowledgable in terms of Sushi. The Mochi class was so fun with many nice memories we made together. Additionally, the mochis we made were so delicious and we even received a nicely stacked tower of snacks and a soup at the end. Moreover, we really enjoyed the casual conversations with Mami as we talked about so much off-topic that it truly felt as speaking to a friend you have already known for a while. Overall this experience was absolutely worth since we had it in such a calm and peaceful surrounding that I’m 100% sure to call this the best class I’ve ever participated in! Thank you so much for everything Mami, hope we see each other again! ❤️

★★★★★Learning to cook sweets and the traditional reasons behind colour choices etc with Mami was so much fun. We got to try our hand at pounding mochi too. The tasting at the end was so good and Mami was a delight to talk to. Thankyou for having us! If you're considering a cooking class, you should book this one. It's worth it.

★★★★★We had a wonderful time making mochi with Mami. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. I really appreciate that she assembled a workshop which included several types of activities. Everything was prepared perfectly, and she also put together a delightful mochi-tasting feast for the finale. Highly recommended!

★★★★★The mochi making experience with Mami was amazing! Mami was very knowledgeable and welcoming. Her instructions were easy to follow, and covered every step of the process. We made art mochi using flour, and also daifuku from pounding rice (very fun, my personal highlight). I was amazed at what I was able to create thanks to Mami's guidance. My class was only myself and my partner, so it made for a very cosy experience. I would very highly recommend it!
