The Art of Mochi

Learn how to make two traditional Japanese sweets.


An indispensable part of Japanese culture, particularly during New Year celebrations, mochi glutinous rice is enjoyed in many different forms during the year.


During this mochi confectionery workshop, students will learn how to make tri-colored dango balls on skewers and two strawberry daifuku, a soft sweet stuffed with red bean paste.


After all that hard work, students will sit down to enjoy their creations—along with a grilled isobe mochi snack—over a cup of tea.
