About the event
This spring, MATCHADO is excited to host a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the art of making Japanese sweets known as daifuku. Each intimate session will welcome 8 guests for 90 minutes, guiding you to make 4 daifuku: two matcha strawberry daifuku and two classic daifuku, filled with fresh strawberries and grapes.
The workshop will also include a matcha whisking tutorial, so you can enjoy a fresh cup of matcha alongside your daifuku. You’ll learn where to find the best ingredients and gain the know-how to create sweets that pair beautifully with Japanese matcha.
What are Daifuku?
Daifuku are a type of wagashi (Japanese sweet) consisting of soft, chewy mochi wrapped around a sweet filling, typically red bean paste. The name ‘daifuku’ translates to ‘great luck.’
This workshop will be led by MATCHADO founder Hiromi Matsunobu, a Japanese tea specialist and confectionery expert, sharing her skills and passion for matcha culture.
