Wagashi – Japanese Traditional Confectionery Making Workshop
Wagashi, or Japanese confections, have a rich history dating back hundreds of years. The most exquisite wagashi are nerikiri, hand-sculpted sweets in a variety of flavors and styles, reflecting the beauty found in nature. Typically modeled on seasonal scenes, nerikiri wagashi are famous all over the world, but you don’t have to be a master to make these edible works of art!
In this event, you’ll create two elegant chrysanthemum wagashi in different colors, along with two nerikiri showcasing the vibrant fall hues of green, yellow, orange, and red, totaling four beautiful confections. Let our instructor guide you through every step as you bring the beauty of autumn to life in edible art!
In addition, each participant will be able to select a handcrafted plate made by a traditional artisan based in Fukui prefecture, which can be used to display and serve their wagashi creations. This is a special opportunity to be able to not only learn to make these edible artworks, but present them in their full glory!
