Let’s try making Wagashi, Japanese traditional sweets!
Ingredients are quite simple, mainly rice, adzuki (red) beans and sugar.
But the shapes and ingredients are different in each season and area.
1. Meet at JR Tsuruhashi station and walk to the wagashi factory (10-15minutes).
2. At the factory, a local artisan will show you around the factory, and teach you how to make wagashi.
This time, you can make 2 types of Wagashi.

3. Taste the wagashi there with tea or take them back as a souvenir.
**Please eat them by the next day as they can’t stay fresh for too long.
