Wagashi: Kiku (Chrysanthemum) from Nerikiri dough.
Nerikiri dough is wrapped around a bean paste filling to create a sweet that looks like kiku, a flower that blooms in Autumn. Participants get to make three sweets, which should be consumed on the day that they are made. This time we use a microwave oven. We can make it easily.
Tea : Green tea or Houji tea
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.

★★★★★ (3)Wagashi Issho is a classroom conveniently located in central Kyoto that introduces participants to traditional Japanese confectionery.
Sweets have been part of life in Japan for thousands of years. They appear as offerings at festivals and religious ceremonies, are served at traditional tea gatherings and are, of course, enjoyed as everyday snacks.
At Wagashi Issho, you can learn to make these popular treats as well as the delicate confections of chado – the Way of Tea – which has shaped the development of Japanese confectionery.
