You will try how to make Japanese traditional sweets (Neriki) . First , I will demonstrate it, and you will make 3 different shape of Nerikiri. Please make 1 own your own, totally 4 pieces you can make them. Nerikiri is a very simple confection made of white bean paste, shiratama flour, sugar and water.
After make them, you will make matcha.
The location is my home, so it is good opportunity to see the lifestyle of Japanese people, and My place( Omotesando )is most fashionable area just 3 mins from station, just 8 mins to go Harajuku, 10 mins Meiji shrine and Yoyogi Park.
I am so welcome to the person who are interested in Japanese culture , you will have Japanese experience at the center of Tokyo.

Making mochi together as a family and hearing Hana's recommendations for things to do was so fun and memorable. The setting of doing it in her house in Japan was great. It was an unforgettable and unique experience. We had a great time and would highly recommend it to others.

Beautifully organized and explained! I should have asked Hana about the history of nerikiri, I’m sure she’s super knowledgeable as she’s an historian.

I had an amazing time learning how to make these sweets which have interested me since my last trip to Japan. The host was very gracious having me in her lovely home. The location was easy to find and in an iconic area I enjoyed exploring afterwards. I got to take home 4 sweets and enjoyed matcha and other traditional goodies from around Japan. Highly recommended

We really enjoyed making the nerikiri and learning about the tea ceremony. Hana was a skilled and friendly teacher. We started by picking a few designs based on Hana's advice on what might be most beginner-friendly, and then made them using ingredients that she had prepared and portioned out for each individual for convenience. Making the nerikiri consisted of basic assembly, gentle hand molding, and use of a few wooden/bamboo tools to imprint specific features. It takes a bit of a delicate touch to get a refined product and we weren't always successful, but we had a lot of fun throughout the process and honestly found our more humorous outcomes to be more endearing in a way. Afterwards, we participated in a tea ceremony that was accompanied by a variety of snacks. Very cool to learn about all of the nuances of that process. Highly recommend as an overall fun, hands-on, and educational experience.

This was such a wonderful experience making delicious Japanese sweets and taking part in a traditional tea ceremony. Hana was a wonderful instructor and a delightful person to get to know! The sweets we made were so pretty you almost didn’t want to eat them. I would highly recommend this experience!

My husband and I took this lesson! It was very fun. We made 4 different Nerikiri, learned how to perform the tea ceremony, and tried several Japanese treats! The instructors English was very good, so definitely feel welcome to book this if you don't speak any Japanese!

Hi Hana! What a wonderful experience! We so appreciated your accommodating our delayed arrival and your willingness to keep our appointment. It was so much fun making the Nerikiri, learning about the tea ceremony and meeting and speaking with you.. We even made it home with half our sweets, the kids just had to eat theirs :). Take care and THANK YOU!!
