Story & Recommendation
Learn to Make Japanese Wagashi sweets in Kyoto!
For 6 generations, Kanshun-do has been serving the people of Kyoto with traditional wagashi sweets.
There are three branches of Kanshun-do in Kyoto, two of which (the Higashi and Sagano stores) offer 75-minute Japanese wagashi confectionery making workshops.
In the workshops, you’ll be taught how to create and form 100% raw Kyo-gashi sweets which often take the shapes of flowers or leaves and represent whichever season it is.
Classes are held 4 times a day, but reservations are recommended.
Take a crack at making traditional sweets in a classic Japanese wooden building and indulge in your creations with a bowl of beautiful matcha green tea that’s included as part of the workshop.
No prior experience is needed and the talented artisans will kindly instruct you in what will surely be a memorable, and most importantly, super fun sweets making experience!
