Then, you’ll have the chance to create your own original Nerikiri design, making this a truly creative and hands-on experience. Everything you make can be taken home with you. Afterwards, enjoy a table-style tea ceremony where I will serve matcha together with carefully selected Japanese sweets sourced from all over Japan.

5.00Very unique beautiful Japanese traditional macha etiquette & nerikiri making experience was unforgettable, especially with Hana sensei. Hana sensei was so patient & her kind guidance gave me courage to challenge for my clumsy skill to make nerikiri. 😱😂 Hana sensei also recommended useful places information after her lesson which was ABOVE & BEYOND…💖 A beautiful couple from France was my learning mate & it also made our experience more fun. 😍 What a great memory & pleasant experience. I highly recommend this fabulous experience with Hana sensei. 👍💖
Definitely take this Japanese sweets making class!

5.00Hana was a wonderful teacher! It was so fun making the Nerikiri! She explained the techniques very clearly and had several beautiful examples of Nerikiri to be inspired by. And she even gave us great advice on local places to visit in the area. I definitely would recommend her to friends and family to take a class with her!
Hana was very welcoming...

5.00When I booked this lesson I had added as a note that if there were any alcohol-containing ingredients I'd prefer to have them swapped (halal sensibility on my end). Hana san contacted me after the booking confirmation to let me know that the ingredients didn't contain alcohol, so I was able to go to the lesson without worry! Hana san picked my aunt and I up and we walked together to her place (that's quite close by)! As it's August right now it felt extra great when we arrived shortly at her place with air conditioning already on ^^ Since the place is so central, it's a breeze to find somewhere entertaining to your taste before or after the lesson! However we hadn't planned out the rest of the day, and she was very kind to advise us a destination and en-route stops to look out for 🙏❤️ The lesson itself was quite engaging! The process of making the nerikiri sweets is very fun and rewarding, even if you're not that good with your hands. Hana san was very kind with my error-prone Japanese and lackluster ability in making sweets so the lesson went smoothly ☺️ (Japanese is by no means a requirement though, as stated in the detailed information her English is very good!) We chose 3 nerikiri models and tried to recreate them as Hana san showed us, and lastly we created one improvised nerikiri as she readied Matcha ceremony sets for us. We made the matcha together step by step, and even snacked a little as we drank ^^ TLDR: I'd recommend to anyone considering! 🌸
