Details

**Details of the experience***.

What is Nerikiri?
Nerikiri is a traditional Japanese confectionery (nama-gashi) that uses white bean paste to express seasonal plants, scenery, etc. in shape and color.
Let's use authentic old-fashioned tools to create beautiful-looking wagashi. The shapes and colors are flexible. Depending on your ideas, you can create your own unique and one-of-a-kind wagashi.
After making your wagashi, enjoy taking "cool" photos in the pure Japanese style studio, and then eat or take them home. (A case is available for taking home confectionaries.)

Experience in a purely Japanese style studio
The experience venue is a purely Japanese style studio, so you can enjoy the atmosphere of making Japanese sweets in a high-class Japanese confectionery store.
