This was an amazing cultural experience.
We (my husband, sister in law, and I) loved learning to make Neri-kiri and teacher actually knew more English than he let on!
He was very patient in teaching us, and we didn’t feel rushed even though we were much slower and less experienced than he is.
The shop where he teaches is pretty easy to find.
It’s on the corner of an intersection and they flagged us down when they saw us looking confused.
Service and hospitality was top notch.
We would definitely recommend learning to make Neri-kiri as we learned today that it was registered as an official non-tangible cultural item of Japan just a few months ago!
We were very happy to do this activity in Japan, it helps to create unforgettable memories of our stay. The place was easily accessible and our hosts were very kind and attentive. It was very cool to make wagashi and further more it is tasty! It is a step towards japanese culture. We recommend this activity without hesitation!
This is the cutest little shop and learning how to make Wagashi was such a fun experience.
Teacher provides you with tea to enjoy while you’re taking the class. It’s a fun hands on experience, not too challenging but new and takes a bit to master.
He also gives you a bag and box to take your masterpiece home, very thoughtful.
Class is taught in English.
We had an amazing experience, thank you so much!
It's a wonderful experience
It was a very enjoyable and valuable experience. I had an experience with my daughter, and I was overjoyed that she was very happy. The sweets I made were also very delicious. He also taught me how to make it very carefully. The sweets will change as the season changes, so I would like to experience it again.

Such a fun experience with my 14yo son! We loved it. Really enjoyed the art of making Japanese sweets from a very experienced family who have been doing it for over 60 years.
新宿からアクセスの良い場所でした。 講師の方の人柄も良く、アットホームな雰囲気で終始教えてくださいました。 気軽にたくさんお話できるので、友人やカップルなど何人かでの参加も楽しいかもしれません。 見本を見せていただいたあと、４つ作成し、１つはその場で試食、３つは持ち帰ることができました。
小学4年生の子供二人と大人二人で初めての和菓子作りを体験させて頂きました。 作り方を丁寧に教えて頂きながら、皆で2種類の練り切りを2つずつトータル4つ作り、1つをお茶と共に頂いて3つを持ち帰りました。 和菓子作りを手軽に体験できて、作った和菓子もとても美味しく、またぜひ申し込みしたいなと思いました。 (作る和菓子は毎月変わるらしいので) オススメです！
This was a fun class to learn the traditional art of wagashi sweets. The class was in an actual sweets shop, which made for a truly authentic experience. The teacher selected the sweets to make based on the season (sakura and spring themes), and we made two of each type to really get the feel of how to make them. The wagashi was beautiful, delicious, and so much fun to make. I appreciate that the instructor also explained the philosophy of appealing to all five senses when making wagashi, it makes me appreciate this traditional craft even more.
非常に楽しく、貴重な体験でした。娘と一緒に体験致しましたが、娘もとても楽しかったと大喜びでした。できたお菓子もとても美味しかったです。また、とてもご丁寧に作り方を教えて下さりました。季節が変わるとお菓子も変わるとのことですので、また体験したいです。
以前から和菓子作りをしたいと思い、今回、初めての和菓子作り体験をさせていただきました。
初っ端から青楓難しいよ‼︎って言われドキドキが止まりませんでした。
手のひらで繊細に仕上げていく過程が凄く面白かったです。ちょとした加減で形や色のつき具合が変わるのも魅力的で楽しかったです。この体験はぜひ皆さんに体験して欲しいなぁと思いました。
先生‼︎ありがとうございました‼︎
機会があればまたお邪魔させていただきたいです‼︎
ありがとうございました。 丁寧なご指導のおかげでとても楽しく和菓子作り体験ができました。大満足です。 繊細な工程、こだわりを知れて和菓子の価値を感じました。 是非また参加させて頂きたいです。 素敵な時間をありがとうございました。
