Nagoya: Aichi Local Sweets Workshop in Nagoya｜Japan

Discover the sweet culture of central Japan in this Nagoya-based wagashi and matcha workshop. Unlike typical wagashi classes found in Tokyo or Kyoto, this experience highlights the culinary traditions of Aichi Prefecture — a region known for its rich fermentation culture and deep-rooted bean-based sweets.

During this 90-minute hands-on class near Nagoya Station, prepare two seasonal Japanese sweets using traditional ingredients such as sweet red bean paste and glutinous rice flour. Learn how regional ingredients and climate have influenced confectionery in this part of Japan.

After making your sweets, whisk your own matcha and enjoy it together with your creations. Your instructor, a licensed nutritionist, will explain how sweetness, texture, and bitterness are carefully balanced in Japanese food culture.

This is a small-group, interactive experience focused on Nagoya’s local identity — not a standardized tea ceremony program.
