My husband and 6 year old daughter had the best time with Sakura San learning more about the Japanese culture and making mochi/daifuku. The location is easily accessible and just a short walk from the train in a beautiful neighborhood. Sakura San was so patient with our daughter who absolutely loved the class. We made four delicious treats and were able to take them back with us so we could enjoy them later although our 6 year old ate hers up pretty quickly:) Have an even greater appreciation for the artistry behind Japanese sweets and so grateful to have had Sakura San as our teacher. A great experience and would highly recommend this class!

My daughter and I had a really good time making the mochi deserts. Sakura-san is super sweet and very attentive to our needs. Overall a very enjoyable experience and we are looking forward to bringing other family members back to her class. Choco (their cute dog) was an added plus!

I had the most wonderful experience in the Mochi-making class at Hello Japan! This class offers a unique, hands-on introduction to traditional Japanese desserts, especially mochi and wagashi, and it’s hosted by the incredible Sakura. From the moment I arrived, Sakura made me feel welcome and comfortable. Her hospitality is unmatched—she truly has a warm and inviting presence that makes the class feel so special. Sakura’s knowledge and passion for Japanese culture and dessert-making are evident in every step. She patiently guided me through each detail. She explained the significance behind each ingredient and step, adding so much depth to the experience. The mochi and matcha were both delicious, and learning to make them from scratch was so rewarding. I now feel confident enough to try these recipes at home, thanks to Sakura’s encouragement and thorough teaching. If you’re looking for an authentic, fun, and educational experience, this class is perfect! Thank you, Sakura, for such an unforgettable and sweet experience.
