New Year’s Wagashi Sweets Virtual Workshop 2026

  Sign up!

Two New Year’s wagashi sweets served during the Japanese tea ceremony will be made during the workshop. They pair well with matcha, steeped tea and coffee. Hishihanabiramochi is a traditional Kyoto New Year’s sweet with a soft outer gyuhi (mochi) skin folded over candied burdock root and miso flavored sweet bean paste. This is a favored wagashi by the Urasenke tradition of tea. Joyomanju is a steamed sweet made with nagaimo (mountain yam), rice flour and sugar covering a center of sweet red bean paste.

Easy to follow recipes will be provided. The video recording will be provided to all registrants.
