5.00When I visited Japan it was very very hot, so I tried to find things to do inside as well as seeing the sights. As someone who is gluten free/celiac, I wanted to try sweets in a way that wouldn’t get me sick. Sakura’s class is perfect. She is so sweet and kind, and is a great mentor as she walks you through four different desserts. They were delicious and flavorful without being super difficult. Her neighborhood is also super fun to walk around. Highly, highly recommend!
Perfect way to end our trip

5.00My daughter loves everything mochi so I surprised her with the mochi class with Sakura San. She was so thorough on communicating clearly. We got lucky and had the class to ourselves so it was like having a private lesson. The educational piece, the background music, temperature, set up, really everything was perfect. Loved the hands on approach, the timing, taste and Choco the dog! Thank you. Highly recommend and makes you appreciate the art and culture of mochi more.
Fun and informative class!
