【report】Wagashi Making Class 2

Date & Time：14:00-16:30 Saturday, February 22, 2025

Place： Nakameguro Square

Attendees: 15 ppl (China, USA, Panama, Canada, Taiwan, Italy, France, Malta, Sweden)

Started with a presentation about "Wagashi" and demonstration by the teacher.

Participants tried making a basic Nerikiri called "Temari 手毬" and their original one. It looks like a clay art, isn't it?!

As you can imagine, bitterness of green tea pairs well with sweetness of Nerikiri.
At the last part of the cooking, the teacher gave us some tips to brew delicious tea.

Thank you very much for the wonderful lesson. I enjoyed meeting the instructors and attendees.

這真的是一個很有意義的活動！對外國人來說，如果不是跟日本人結婚生活在一起的話，根本很難親身體驗生活中的日本文化和傳統，所以透過這個活動，邀請到了正宗的茶道專家老师來為我們展示日本的文化，並且讓我們親手製作日本的甜點，是非常難得的體驗！謝謝所有人的安排和幫忙

It was a really fulfilling event! It is difficult for foreigners to experience Japanese culture and traditions in their own lives unless they are married and living with Japanese people, so it was a very valuable experience to learn Japanese culture by an expert and to make wagashi by ourselves! Thank you all for your arrangement and support.

It was a simply heartwarming event. Not only participants but also staff member seemed to enjoy the moment, which I believe is an important element of organizing the event.

Nerikiri making class is one of the face-to-face events organized by MIFA.

Compared to the other events, this event was not so long but I think it is very good because both participants and volunteer teams can interact with each other.

I’m happy to talk with the volunteers and the teacher, too.
