About this experience

Book a one-hour mochi-making workshop in Kyoto with an English-speaking instructor and matcha tea. A small group of up to eight participants learns to pound glutinous rice, shape sweets and enjoy the results. Choose this class for a hands-on food activity, rather than a restaurant meal or a wider Kyoto food tour. Kyoto Mochi-Making and Matcha Workshop: make sweets with the instructor The operator programme includes traditional mochi pounding followed by shaping and filling. Examples in the class description include red-bean mochi, mochi ice cream, mitarashi dango and wagashi-style sweets. Follow the instructor’s sequence rather than treating this as an independently equipped kitchen session. The learning comes from taking part in the making process and seeing how the texture and forms develop. You do not need previous experience to follow the guided workshop.
