Traditional Japanese sweets have a long history. They are an important part of monthly events that mark the time of year. So, the coloring and design of the sweets change according to the season. They are made from rice flour with a sweet red bean paste filling and are traditionally enjoyed as a complement to Japanese green tea. So, why not try out the experience with the beautifully crafted sweets you have made yourself? Sessions are in English.
