- 5/5 from Masako Walker, attended Oct 2026: When I saw this intricate beautiful sweet(Wagashi) making class in the photo, I was a bit concerned whether my hands were capable enough to get through the class. However with Mana’s(our teacher) hands on, step by step explanation and encouragement, the class were filled with enjoyment & satisfaction. It was a great experience and wonderful sweet result. I am highly recommend this class to everyone.
- 5/5 from Shona Bruce, attended Sep 2026: Mana was lovely and walked our work team step by step through creation of 3 different Wagashi sweets. It was certainly more challenging than Mana made it look and we had lots of fun and there was much laughter. It was a nice afternoon - wouuld recommend.
- 5/5 from Chris Le, attended Jul 2026: I had a fantastic time with Mana. The class was very fun and fantastic. I would love to do it again and learn more patterns/shapes/styles

Your teacher
I am a Certified Nerikiri Teacher, dedicated to sharing the Japanese spirit of harmony through the art of wagashi.I was born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. When I was young, I didn’t pay much attention to wagashi, our traditional Japanese confectionery. However, after spending many years in Sydney, Australia, I began to look back on my culture with fresh eyes.As I learned more, I became deeply inspired by how Japanese artists capture the delicate beauty of each season through wagashi, often paired with a bowl of Matcha. These creations are more than sweets — they are meditative experiences, inviting us to pause, reflect, and find harmony.Through my journey, I have come to see wagashi as an expression of mindfulness, seasonal beauty, and Japanese aesthetics. Now, I wish to share this spirit of harmony with the world — one sweet moment at a time.
