Japanese Sweets Making Workshop in Fukuoka

Japanese sweets are known for their soft textures, gentle sweetness, and careful attention to detail. In this dessert home cooking class in Fukuoka, you'll learn how they're made in a relaxed, hands-on setting. Guided by home chef Sayaka, who has 12 years of experience teaching Japanese cooking, you'll create four different sweet treats while picking up practical tips you can use at home. The class ends on a sweet note as you sit down to enjoy what you've made together. First, you'll learn about two types of warabimochi. This gelatinous mochi is created using a special flour, which is mixed, shaped, and dipped in kinako (roasted soybean powder). It's particularly popular in summer because of its refreshing texture with just the right amount of sweetness. Next on the menu is nama yatsuhashi. This traditional sweet from Kyoto consists of thinly rolled strips of mochi dough filled with cinnamon and sweet red bean paste. This class is perfect for matcha lovers, as you'll also learn how to make a creamy and delicious matcha pudding. Once you master the process, it is easy to recreate the recipe from your home, perhaps even using matcha from Japan. Finally, your host will teach you how to make daifuku, a famous Japanese mochi sweet filled with anko (red bean paste). You'll then enjoy your assortment of sweets, still fresh and warm, paired with a hot cup of green tea or coffee, as you discover more insights into Japanese culture and cooking with your friendly host. ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/ee1f2fca-eea4-48a2-971e-840592f68e70.webp) ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/f4fe1042-f4e1-4697-8a65-f0ac6be197fe.jpeg) ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/6fa1a355-4e1b-471d-96f4-67117c715859.jpeg) ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/9198dee6-6a2d-4c34-b840-32a8e7aa2733.jpeg) ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/be859567-1778-4300-83c6-6c42cc389e90.webp) ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/ab17bb8f-9d9b-4586-b577-b23483b92f88.webp) ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/e9afd483-4268-42b7-84cb-1456febd572b.webp) ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/27a20d0b-dad6-45b1-b23d-ff9097c92dac.webp) ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/76dda47a-af1e-4190-9ec6-4214da366494.webp) ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/31d0ca0f-f5c1-458a-8a7d-aafc14973348.webp) ![](https://assets.hldycdn.com/6e5f83ae-70b2-44cb-b4cd-705031ad8a91.webp)
