Crafting Beautiful Nerikiri Wagashi for Mother's Day: Celebrating Roses and Early Summer Blooms.
About this Event

If you're searching for a unique Mother's Day gift, join us for an enjoyable wagashi workshop.
Create wagashi that captures the essence of early summer, featuring elegant roses in full bloom, delicate petals, and lush greenery – a design that beautifully represents the spirit of Mother's Day and the freshness of the season.
You can carry home your creation in the case and celebrate a heartwarming Mother's Day with these handmade, one-of-a-kind Nerikiri wagashi.
What is Nerikiri
Nerikiri were originally made to be served at Japanese tea ceremonies and are one style of Japanese sweets. Nerikiri is made by mixing and kneading white butter-bean paste and mochi rice dough. It is sweet and has a smooth texture, very good pairing with tea, coffee or sake. (Nerikiri ingredients: white butter beans, sweet rice flour, granulated sugar, water and food color)
Presented by Toshiko Sugii Steffes, a Japanese sweets(WAGASHI) designer
I am fascinated by the beauty of WAGASHI, which is expressive of the four seasons and nature. My creations are boundless as there is so much variety and sophistication in WAGASHI techniques. I have been trained in traditional WAGASHI with a well-renowned teacher, and contemporary WAGASHI with a rising star teacher. I am a certified master in WAGASHI. I make order-made, demonstrate, exhibit and also teach WAGASHI making in the USA and Japan. Published the very first recipe book in Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
