Wagashi School(Class) Momotose

“Through making wagashi (traditional Japanese confectionery),
I have come to appreciate the passage of the seasons more than ever.”

Momotose means a hundred years, and wagashi has been made and cherished for just as long. Why not try making wagashi at home?

Rice, beans and sugar. Such simple ingredients will be turned into countless varieties of Japanese confections that reflect the four seasons.

So comfortable is the feel of sticky rice dough and smooth sweet adzuki bean paste. It is truly enjoyable to finish each step with care, welcoming the season that has come this year again.

Our studio began with the aim of enjoying wagashi from the process of its creation with those who love it. At Momotose, in addition to hands-on practice, we will share historical anecdotes and various stories on wagashi as well as our knowledge of the products of prestigious confectioners.

Now let us introduce you to wagashi that has been made over a hundred years.
