What to Expect from the Wagashi-Making Experience in Osaka

This is a wagashi-making workshop in Osaka where you create two seasonal nerikiri sweets. The bean pastes used—shiro-an (white bean paste) and azuki bean paste—come from a long-established shop in Kyoto, giving the workshop a truly authentic feel with genuine ingredients and professional tools.

The experience is rated 4.6 (39 reviews). It's located in Osaka and falls under the food and craft experience category.

Authentic Ingredients from a Long-Established Kyoto Shop

At the heart of this experience are the shiro-an and azuki bean pastes made by a long-established shop in Kyoto. Since the quality of ingredients directly affects the flavour of wagashi, being able to work with genuine, high-quality bean paste—rather than practice-grade materials—is a defining feature of this workshop.

Typically, shiro-an is tinted and used for the outer dough, while azuki bean paste is used as the filling inside—this is the standard method for making nerikiri. The finished sweets are designed to be enjoyed not just visually but also for their taste.

Create Two Seasonal Nerikiri Sweets—Beginner-Friendly

You'll create two nerikiri sweets inspired by the season. Nerikiri are wagashi shaped to resemble seasonal flowers and nature, and even when working with the same motif, each person's creation turns out uniquely their own.

Although professional tools are used, the workshop is designed so that even beginners can craft beautiful pieces with proper guidance. Once plated, your finished wagashi will look like a work of art in its own right.

The specific seasonal design you'll create varies depending on the time of year, so please check the booking page for details.

Great for Solo Travellers and Groups Alike

This experience is designed to be enjoyable whether you're travelling solo or with a group. Since the number of pieces you make is fixed at two, it's also easy to plan your time around the workshop.

For families or friends, it becomes a fun chance to compare each other's creations. For solo travellers, the hands-on nature of the activity makes it easy to join without hesitation.
