Making Japanese sweets

We have some kinds of WAGASHI.
“Nerikiri” “Gyuhi” “Manju”and so on.
It depends on the season,I decide what I make.
Most of the WAGASHI are vegan & gluten free.

I have been teaching my regular “Making Japanese sweets class “ since 2009.
From last year, l have “Japanese sweets workshop”(@kichijyoji , Tokyo)

My Japanese sweets students have a lot of fun to make sweets every time and my tea ceremony students are always looking forward to eating my sweets.
My students always make really individual WAGASHI.
It’s so fun.

I’m flexible with the date & time.
Firstly you reserve open day,then we chat each other to decide the date & time.
If you have anything about that,please feel free to ask me.


  • Tea Ceremony

    Tea Ceremony

    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.

I lived in Boston since 2004 to 2006 with my family.

I showed the tea ceremony to American people in Boston.

After I came back to Japan, I’ve always wanted to have international communication with foreign people though the Japanese culture.
I hope you can get some small valuable experience here.


I also have regular lessons for foreign residents.
