In this class, we will make three kinds of Japanese sweets together: Sanshoku Dango, Sakura Nerikiri, and Fruit Daifuku.

We’ll start with Sanshoku Dango, the three-colored dumplings often seen during spring festivals. You’ll roll and shape the dumplings, then place them on skewers in the traditional colors of pink, white, and green.

Next, you’ll try your hand at Sakura Nerikiri. This is a beautiful type of wagashi made with bean paste. I will guide you step by step so you can create your own sweets shaped like cherry blossoms.

Finally, we’ll make Fruit Daifuku, soft mochi filled with sweet bean paste and fresh seasonal fruit such as strawberries or grapes. It’s one of the most loved wagashi in Japan.

At the end, you can enjoy your sweets with a cup of Japanese tea, and of course, you can take everything you make home with you.

This experience is simple, hands-on, and a great way to learn about Japanese sweets while having fun.
