These delicate sweet treats can be shaped into various shapes and characters according to the seasons, and are perfect for souvenirs.

This was a great experience with the staff assistance in dressing for the kimono, to the sweet making demonstration, and the matcha making experience. The area to take photos was beautiful as well. Thank you for the memorable experience.
