Overview
— A Homestyle Cultural Workshop in Historic Yanaka —
Create delicate wagashi (Japanese sweets), learn to brew artisan teas, and feel the warm heart of Tokyo’s Yanaka neighborhood.
You will make Wagashi for 45 mins(one wagashi, two for 60 minutes), set the table, and enjoy them with tea tasting, home-style!
It is considered a high-class Japanese sweet called Jo-Nama-Gashi(Jo means Upper or high class, and Name means freshly made) and served at tea ceremonies and ceremonial occasions. Nerikiri is most well-known for its beautiful presentation, which might include scenery, flowers, and lucky motifs with a delicate taste. We teach you the basics, and try making your Nerikiri with your imagination!
We will serve three essential and popular everyday teas(Sencha, Genmaicha, and Hojicha) for you based on how we serve them at home! Knowing how we enjoy teas at home is a casual but insightful experience. We will show you how to serve the tea, the difference, and the suitable TPO for each tea.

What You’ll Experience
✿ Craft Nerikiri: Edible Art
Nerikiri is a refined type of wagashi made from white bean paste and glutinous rice flour, known for its smooth texture and sculpted seasonal designs. These sweets are often served in tea ceremonies—not only delicious, but also visually stunning. You'll learn how to shape and color them into beautiful forms like flowers or leaves, perfect for the season.
Tea Tasting Like a Local
Taste three distinctive types of Japanese tea—Sencha, Genmaicha, and Hōjicha—sourced from a long-established tea shop in Yanaka. You’ll learn the proper way to brew each tea using traditional Japanese methods, appreciating their unique aromas, flavors, and cultural significance.
️ Warm Hospitality & Community Connection
Our workshop is hosted in a cozy, retro Tokyo townhouse where you’ll enjoy warm conversation and relaxed hospitality. You’ll also support local artisans and small businesses by using ingredients and tea sourced right from our neighborhood.
