Make Mochi: Japanese Sweets from Scratch

Learn how to make Mochi and Japanese Traditional Sweets from scratch!

Join us for a delicious introduction to Japanese mochi making, where you’ll learn the traditional techniques behind Ichigo Daifuku, a beloved Japanese sweet made with soft mochi, sweet red bean paste, and fresh strawberry.

You’ll prepare your own mochi dough, learn how to work with traditional anko (sweet red bean paste), and practice wrapping and shaping mochi around a whole strawberry. You’ll also have the opportunity to customize your mochi with different colors and fillings while learning the techniques that make these delicate treats so special.

What You’ll Make

Each guest will make approximately 5–6 pieces of mochi, including the option to make Strawberry Daifuku (Ichigo Daifuku) made with fresh strawberries and sweet red bean paste. You’ll learn how to prepare the mochi dough, portion and shape the fillings, wrap the strawberry and anko, and create smooth, beautiful mochi with the traditional soft and chewy texture.

You’ll also have the opportunity to choose your own mochi color and fillings, adding your own creative touch while learning authentic Japanese techniques.
