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!
