WHAT YOU’LL DO
Work together to sculpt traditional Japanese nerikiri confections into seasonal scenes from nature.
Gather your team for a calm, creative confectionery workshop in this team building activity led by Chef Yuki. Nerikiri are the most refined of Japan's traditional wagashi – sculpted entirely by hand into miniature scenes from nature and served alongside matcha in the tea ceremony.
Working in a small group with individual attention, your team will learn what nerikiri is made of, how the seasons dictate its shapes and colors and the traditional hand techniques used to form it. All the dough is prepared in advance, so the focus stays on the rewarding part – pressing, pinching and layering by hand until an edible sculpture appears. Slower and quieter than most cooking activities, it's a uniquely mindful shared experience, and the nerikiri you make are yours to take home. Book this team building activity today.
Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.
Suitable For
This team building activity is great for individuals, couples and groups as well as for a team building activity, birthday or bachelorette party.
It also makes a unique gift for foodies and is well suited as a gift for people who like to cook, families and birthdays.
