[Hokkaido] Sapporo Wagashi Sweets Making

• * Make your own traditional confectionery called nerikiri.
• * Learn from an expert trained by a Japanese chef who served members of the Imperial Household.
• * Experience Japan’s rich food culture firsthand.

Learn the over 1,000-year-old art of Japanese sweets-making in Sapporo from Yuki, a skilled instructor who studied under a Japanese chef who once served meals to members of the Imperial Household. Upon arrival at her welcoming studio, enjoy green tea or another drink as you settle in and hear a brief introduction to nerikiri—delicate, hand-shaped confections made from chewy rice dough and sweet white bean paste. With Yuki’s guidance, create four beautiful pieces of nerikiri, learning authentic techniques passed down through generations. When your sweets are ready, relax and savor them with your host in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Or, you can also take home your handmade creations, along with the dough recipe if requested, so you can recreate the experience wherever you are.
