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.
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.
Let’s make Japanese sweets together.
My
WAGASHI means Japanese sweets.
WAGASHI is traditional Japanese sweets.
When I make WAGASHI, I always follow the season.
Making WAGASHI is so fun!!
Looks cute!!
Taste good!!
One guest makes 5 pieces WAGASH then eat 1 piece together.
You can take 4 pieces WAGASH to go back.
After making WAGASH we eat it together with Macha.(green tea)
I make green tea for you.
•You don’t need to bring anything.
•It takes for 1 hour & half to make them, then eating 1 piece with Matcha.

“About me”
I’m from Nara prefecture.
I have been learning Japanese tea ceremony for more than 40 years.
I started to teach tea ceremony since 2007.
My grandmother & my mother are also teachers.
I leaned tea ceremony in Kyoto & Nara for 10 years.
Kyoto is the first place of Japanese tea ceremony, so I have many good experience in Kyoto & Nara.
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.
After trial tea ceremony,if you are interested in that, please let me know.
I like making Japanese sweets & wearing kimono.
I also have “making Japanese sweets”
class & “combinations class”.
My class, you can learn about many Japanese cultures!!
I’m looking forward to having the guests.
If you have anything about the starting time,feel free to ask me.
Sometimes I can adjust the time.
See you soon!!
P.S.
I’m from Nara prefecture,there is a really huge Buddha inside in a Toudaiji temple in Nara.
When you visit Nara I recommend you to see huge Buddha and see deers.
