Virtual Japanese Wagashi Workshop - Sat., December 9, 2023 11am-1pm PST
This traditional wagashi Japanese sweet making workshop will feature two kinds of formal wagashi sweets used during the Japanese tea ceremony. They are both vegan and gluten free and pair well with matcha, steeped tea and coffee. Joyo Manju is a steamed sweet made with nagaimo (mountain yam), rice flour and sugar covering a center of sweet red bean paste. Yukimochi Kinton also uses nagaimo and sweet white bean paste. It is pushed through a strainer and the long treads are gathered to form a beautiful winter style sweet. Easy to follow recipes will be provided. Workshop fee $30 / $25 for Center members.
(Note - The workshop video recording will be provided to all registrants after the workshop.)
