• 5/5 from Sarita Nair, attended Apr 2025: I had the most wonderful experience in the wagashi-making session. My sensei is not only incredibly talented and skilled in the art of wagashi, but also exceptionally kind, patient and brings a lot of positive energy. Her generosity in sharing her knowledge and expertise truly touched me. Together, we created seven beautiful wagashi, and I cannot describe the joy I felt when I completed my very first one—it was like a dream come true. I was also fascinated by the traditional tools she brought from Japan, which added so much authenticity to the experience. This session is more than just a learning opportunity; it is a calming and healing escape from the stresses of daily life. I wholeheartedly recommend this class to anyone who wishes to explore the delicate art of wagashi-making.

• 5/5 from Melissa Fallshaw, attended Feb 2021: We really enjoyed our class. Was worth the travel from Sydney. My teenage daughter was apprehensive at first but by the end she loved it. The teacher was very encouraging and gave interesting facts along the way. I think we rushed ourselves (not the teacher) and needed to understand that the class was just as much about the craft as it was a lesson in tranquility and patience. Highly recommend.
• 5/5 from Sharon Barker, attended Jan 2021: Kathryn is an excellent teacher, patient and passionate about her craft. Wagashi making is labour intensive and requires skill.

Venue easy to find. I did this with my mum and we loved it.
• 5/5 from Gin Lin, attended Jan 2021: Kathryn was patient and kind. She took time to guide and show how to do the tasks. The class was very enjoyable and the atmosphere was peaceful and comfortable.
