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Nerikiri were originally made to be served at Japanese tea ceremonies and are one style of Japanese sweets.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)

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.
