5.00Such a fun experience! The class is very cozy-total of 8. The class was very informative with slides in the beginning with the history of mochi. Then making all different types of mochi. The assistants were very helpful & kept cleaning up after us to keep our workstations tidy. We were able to take pictures & then eat our creations. Also gave us containers to take home if we couldn't finish them.
