Wonderful sweets

What a fabulous experience? First, Yuko was extremely flexible; we had some issues with our return flight (due to poor planning on my part), and she offered to start early to give us more time. Then when we arrived, she showed us pictures of what we would make, and I laughed out loud, because I have zero skill in making things pretty. But in the end we all made delicious sweets that actually did look remarkably like the examples! But what I appreciated the most was Yuko; she was kind to bring us into her home, and she explained things well and adjusted to the very different skill levels we had at the table. I would very happily go back.

Sweet memories in Tokyo!

We visited this workshop with a friend, just the two of us, and had such a great time! Making Japanese sweets turned out to be much easier than we expected, and it was really fun to create something that looks like a little masterpiece. Yuko prepared everything in advance, so the whole process felt clean, simple, and very relaxing. We just followed her instructions and enjoyed every step. At the end, we had matcha tea and ate the sweets we made, which was a lovely way to finish the experience. The view from the window was also beautiful — a river with blooming sakura, which made it even more special. This was one of the most pleasant experiences of our trip. Thank you so much for such a wonderful time!

Wonderful experience

Amazing experience with Yuko-san, so wonderful to make all of the different types of mochi and can’t believe how amazing they turned out!

An artist for a day!

I had the loveliest time attending this class. Miss Yuko was incredibly attentive, and the way she performed every step of the mochi-making process with such grace, ease, and precision, was absolutely mesmerizing. It truly felt like watching edible works of art come to life. I was accompanied by my mom, who was initially a bit reluctant to participate, but she ended up enjoying the class so much. She became fully engaged, keenly taking notes and gathering tips to recreate the recipe once we return home. The class was held in a cozy, inviting room with a gorgeous view from the window. There was such warmth, care, and attention in every detail that it felt as though we had known Miss Yuko for years. We also learned fascinating history about Wagashi and its importance in various Japanese celebrations, which made the experience even more meaningful. I wholeheartedly recommend booking this activity for a memorable, enriching experience and, of course, for the little heavenly bites you get to enjoy along the way.

Wonderful experience with Yuko!

Mochi making with Yuko was one of the highlights of our anniversary trip to Japan! She was kind, patient, and was able to give us some wonderful knowledge about the history of mochi and successfully helped us craft multiple beautiful and delicious desserts. The match and snack at the ned was such a lovely way to close a thoroughly enjoyable two hours. She welcome us into her home and we are so appreciative of the experience!

5-star Wagashi Workshop

I could not rate this class highly enough! Yuko was a wonderful and patient teacher. She was easy to engage with and you got to create so many unique creative designs!! I had so much fun! I would encourage anyone looking for a mochi and wagashi workshop to book it! It was great to participate as a solo traveller and quite an intimate space!

Amazing Japanese sweets class

Our experience with Yuko’s watch class was outstanding. Yuko was in contact with us early on to make sure that we knew how to get to her class. She greeted us at the door and treated us like family in her amazing kitchen and dining room. My daughter and I loved her class and learned so much. She explained the history of making Japanese sweets before starting the process with us. We made so many sweets. Yuko made things so straightforward and easy. Yuko prepared so well for the class that we were able to participate in the fun and instructive parts without wasting any time. We made so many beautiful sweets such as a sunflower-shaped aweet l and watermelon and pineapple mochi. Yuko is an amazing maker of wagazhi, and her refrigerator is full of her beautiful creations. The class was easy to find on public transportation, too. If you are looking for something fun and meaningful and authentically Japanese to do when you are traveling to Tokyo, go to this class.
