Tokyo Mochi-Making Class

Immerse yourself in the heart of Tokyo and discover the art of making traditional Japanese mochi - a delicately crafted dessert that is as much a cultural experience as it is a culinary delight. This chewy treat, made by pounding steamed rice into a soft dough, is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and even celebrated with festivals throughout the country.

Your activity begins with learning to make five different types of mochi. Next, you'll get hands-on experience molded by centuries-old techniques. As you shape your mochi, you'll be treated to an authentic taste of Japanese culture.

Finally, it's time to taste your hand-made creations. Paired with some matcha tea, this is more than just a dessert; it's a sensory journey through Japan's rich culinary heritage. To round off, you'll explore Tokyo's bustling streets, where modern life blends seamlessly with ancient traditions.
