newCenter (JCCCNC) Virtual Wagashi Workshop - Sat., March 1, 2025, 11am-1pmPST


This spring Japanese wagashi sweet making workshop will feature hanamidango and kusamochi. Hanamidango is a popular sweet during the cherry blossom season during March and April. It is a steamed kneaded sweet using konashi made with sweet bean paste, rice and wheat flour. The brown represents the tree, the green the leaf and the cherry blossom is pink. Kusamochi, also called yomogimochi, is microwave steamed mochi covering sweet bean paste. The green color is from yomogi, mugwort, a medicinal herb used in Japanese sweet making and cooking. Easy to follow recipes and a recording link will be provided to all registrants. Workshop fee $30 ($25 Center Members).
