Art of Wagashi workshops

Wagashi Workshop: The Art of Japanese Sweets

Join us for an immersive journey into the world of

Wagashi — traditional Japanese confectionery where beauty, season, and meaning meet in a single bite.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the techniques behind nerikiri (hand-shaped sweets), discover the cultural stories and symbolism woven into each design, and experience the quiet, meditative rhythm of working with your hands. No experience necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to slow down.

You’ll leave with your own handcrafted Wagashi creations, plus a deeper connection to the Japanese spirit of wa (harmony) and mindful presence.

The afternoon closes with a traditional tea ceremony, where you’ll savor your own creations alongside a bowl of matcha — the perfect harmony of sweet and bitter, a fitting end to a day of quiet craft.
