Intensive 6 Class Nerikiri Wagashi Course

Nerikiri is a type of wagashi, or Japanese sweet, made from a dough of sweet bean paste and soft mochi. It is a very malleable dough, which is easily molded into different shapes, like flowers and animals which represent the seasons. Nerikiri is an incredibly cute (kawaii) and simple art form that, with the right instructor, can be mastered by anyone. This Intensive Nerikiri Wagashi Course is perfect for people who want to learn how to make nerikiri starting from the basics and will lay the foundation for professional-level nerikiri making if you choose to pursue it. Usually paired with a cup of tea, nerikiri wagashi should be appreciated slowly and savored, a reminder to yourself to take it easy during an otherwise busy day. They also make beautiful gifts! Over the course of 6 classes (2 hours each), you will learn nerikiri wagashi making techniques and make popular seasonal designs for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Classes begin at 10:00 a.m. and you may take a maximum of three classes in a day if it is available. If you do multiple classes in a day you will be allowed a one-hour lunch break between classes where you can explore the local area. And upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate to prove your wagashi-making chops.
