Workshop: Learn to Make Matcha Strawberry Daifuku

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.’
