We are delighted to invite you to join a wagashi demonstration and workshop conducted by 3 experts from Matsue-gashi Association, Japan, led by Mr. Yamaguchi Kenji. Wagashi is the Japanese traditional confectionary usually made of natural ingredients such as mochi (glutinous rice), azuki (red bean paste) and fruits. Participants will experience the techniques of making wagashi including bake, boil and steam.
