Where tea ceremony is served with wagashi confections made by you.
Known as one of Japan's three major confectionery hubs, alongside Kyoto and Matsue in Shimane Prefecture, Kanazawa boasts a long-loved history of tea ceremony thanks to its history of samurai. Along with this pursuit, a custom of wagashi, classic Japanese sweets, continue to appear in tandem with tea ceremony here. Even today, wagashi remain a staple in celebrations such as weddings and prayers for safe childbirth in Kanazawa, boasting one of the highest consumption rates in the country.
Among wagashi, 'nerikiri', a type of unbaked sweet, is particularly delicate and beautiful. Nerikiri is a clay-like mixture of bean paste and mochi-like 'gyuhi', made from white rice flour, making it easy to shape into intricate designs that evoke the beauty of nature and the changing seasons.
In this Wagashi Making & Tea Ceremony Experience, visitors can try their hand at making authentic nerikiri before going for a taste in the authentic tearoom. Rest-assured, this tea course is even novice-friendly meaning anyone can settle in for an immersive time relaxing in the world of tea.
