Nerikiri Wagashi: Japanese Sculpted Confectionery – Cosmos, Bellflower, and Ball Chrysanthemum
The instructor: Yuki Sakura
In this session, we will create three nerikiri designs that welcome the turn of the season: cosmos, bellflower (kikyo), and ball chrysanthemum (tamagiku). In September, the cosmos sways lightly in the breeze, the bellflower adds quiet elegance with its deep-violet, star-shaped petals, and the tamagiku begins to reveal its round, layered fullness as the early autumn season gently unfolds.
This workshop offers more than the joy of tasting Wagashi — it gives you the experience of creating edible art with your own hands. Simple hand movements such as pressing, pinching, and layering transform into moments of artistic expression. Through this hands-on experience, you will discover the unique beauty of Japanese food culture.
At the end of the class, you’ll take home the nerikiri sweets you lovingly crafted yourself. I hope you’ll share them with your family and friends, revisiting the stories and moments from the workshop as you admire and enjoy the sweets you created with your own hands.
