My friend Yaeko took me to the Yoshihiro Kyoto Style shop for a class in Wagashi making.
Wagashi is a sweet made using mochi and anko (bean paste). Wagashi is often eaten before having  matcha tea.

Yaeko and her creations. We laughed so much at our attempts at making these gorgeous sweets. I think we both did very well. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

Our Sensei showing how it is done.
