The Art of Making Wagashi Japanese sweets coupled with a memorable Kamakura Tour

Wagashi are made in a wide variety of shapes and consistencies and with diverse ingredients and preparation methods. Some of the wagashi are popular across Japan and throughout the year while others are only available seasonally like the Xmas wreath etc. Sweet azuki bean paste (anko) is commonly used in most Japanese sweets. And in this workshop, you will be taught by the professional in wagashi-making. At the end of the session, you will get to enjoy what you made with a cup of traditional green tea. The workshop is nested in a cozy environment in Kamakura. And after experiencing the wagashi-making, you will be toured around a fashionable street in the middle of an ancient city. Sweets and snacks are a big draw, particularly candied bean sweets and cookies. Of course, there are shops for souvenirs, restaurants for a meal and many cafes lining the street.
