I went with a friend who came to visit me in Kyoto. We enjoyed a one-hour experience making traditional Japanese sweets, followed by tasting them.
Next month, a friend from abroad is coming, so I would like to participate again.
京都に遊びに来てくれた友人と行きました。

I participated with my niece and mother. We made one type of dried sweets and three pieces of wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets). There was a flyer with pictures, and I was really worried about whether we could create something so amazing, but we managed to make some rather clumsy sweets. The instructor, a skilled artisan, taught us while making the sweets himself. We packed two pieces of wagashi in a box to take home. One was enjoyed with matcha (thin tea). It was a very good experience.
姪と母の3人で参加しました。お干菓子1種と上生菓子3つを作りました。写真入りのちらしが用意されていて、本当にこんなすごいものができるか不安でしたが、なんとかかなり不格好なお菓子ができました。講師の職人さんが実際に作りながら教えてくれます。上生菓子2つは箱に入れ 持ち帰ります。1つはお抹茶(お薄)で頂きました。とてもよい経験になりました。

As a memory of my trip, I tried my hand at making wagashi (Japanese sweets). You can make a total of four types. The first one is easy! Just roll out the dough and cut it into shapes. The difficulty increases a bit with each subsequent one. Being clumsy, I had to ask the teacher for a little help! My mother said, "It's unfair that you got help!" so I replied, "I can't do it, so there's no choice!!" Since I stated the facts, she didn't say anything after that (laughs). Thanks to the teacher, I successfully completed three items. I realized once again how amazing artisans are, as things didn't go as smoothly as I hoped. It was fun to experience making wagashi, something I can't do in my daily life. If I have the chance, I would like to try again!!
Lastly, about the store's location, it's as shown on the map. It's relatively close to the nearest station, but honestly, I felt anxious about whether I was on the right path. There are few landmarks, so you might feel uneasy, but it's okay. As long as you don't make a wrong turn, just walk straight, and you'll see the store on your left!
旅行の思い出に、和菓子作りに挑戦してみました。
全部で4つ作れます。
1つ目は、簡単!生地を伸ばしてからの型抜き。
2つ目以降は、ちょっとずつ難易度が上がっていきます。
不器用な私は、先生にちょっと手伝ってもらっちゃいました!
母からは、「手伝ってもらえて、ズルい!」と言われたので、「出来ないのだから、仕方ない !!」 と言いました。
事実を伝えたので、その後は何も言ってきませんでした(笑)
先生のおかげもあり、無事に3品完成しました。
思う通りにいかず、職人の方は本当にスゴイのだと、
改めて実感しました。
日常、経験できない和菓子作りができ、楽しかったです。
機会があれば、また挑戦したいです!!
最後にお店の場所ですが、地図の通りです。
最寄り駅からわりと近いですが、正直、道があってるのかどうか、不安になりました。
目印少ないので、不安になるかもですが、大丈夫です。
曲がる角さえ間違えなければ、あとは真っ直く歩けば、
道が開け、左手側にお店が見えますから!

I participated with a friend to create memories in Kyoto, making autumn-themed dry sweets and camellia flower wagashi. The craftsmen demonstrated for each group, but there’s a big difference between watching and actually doing it... It was surprisingly difficult. However, the wagashi we made ourselves and the matcha were the best, and it was a very enjoyable experience. I was also happy to be able to take the remaining wagashi home as souvenirs. Since the motifs change with each season, I thought it would be nice to participate again in a different season if I have the chance.
京都の思い出作りとして友人と参加し、紅葉の干菓子や山茶花の上生菓子などを作りました。
職人さんが各グループ毎にお手本を見せて下さいますが、見るのと実際やるのでは大違い…。意外と難しかったです。でも自分たちで作った和菓子とお抹茶は最高で、とても楽しい体験ができました。残りの和菓子をお土産として持って帰れるのも嬉しかったです。季節ごとに作るモチーフが変わるので、機会があれば別の季節にまた参加したいなと思いました。

It was really interesting to try making sweets. In about an hour I could make 4 different types. I could taste one there. It was wonderful. The sweets you get to make change with each season, so I want to come again.

It was more difficult than I expected, and I really think it's a professional skill. However, they prepared everything properly so that it could take shape, and I had a lot of fun!

I had my first experience making traditional Japanese wagashi this time. As part of a sister trip to Kyoto, we all love sweets, so we enjoyed making the visually appealing wagashi.
Seeing the craftsman's skills up close and listening to their stories made for a very happy experience.
Of course, the taste was truly delicious! The service from the staff was also wonderful.
It was a valuable experience. Thank you very much. I would definitely like to use this again.

This summer in August, I stayed for four nights and visited various tourist spots such as Amanohashidate, the boat houses in Ine, the Sagano Scenic Railway, the Hozu River boat ride, the Kawadoko dining experience, dining with a maiko, making wagashi, the Movie Village, and Nishiki Market... The weather was great and extremely hot. Among all, making wagashi was the best! Despite the heat, participating was very informative, and I'm glad I joined. I made delicious wagashi for the first time.
今年の夏8月に4泊して、天橋立、稲の舟屋、嵯峨野トロッコ、保津川下り、川床、舞妓はんと

As I sometimes make Western sweets but hardly make Japanese sweets, I made a reservation for this interesting experience.
It is kind of far from the center of Arashiyama, but it was a very superb store of Japanese sweets.
On the day for which I made a reservation, there were college students from Taiwan who were visiting to commemoratw their graduation, and about 20 people were there.
As they did not know Japanese, I was wondering how the teacher was going to teach, but a man who makes the Japanese sweets came to them and taught them how to prepare the sweets. They were so happy and excited. As for me, I am a clumsy person, but I was able to make a relatively satisfying Japanese confectionery.
I made three fresh sweets, hydrangea, fringed pink, and tsuyunosato (name of confectionery), and a Kizato, which looks like it was clipped. The wagashi are very delicate, but since the confectionery maker taught us one by one, even a person like me could make it. Using a spatula and cloth is also an interesting experience.
Furthermore, making method also differs a little for each type of confectionery, which was fun.
After making, you can taste the confectionery you made with green tea at the store. You can also bring back some other confectionery too. I'm so glad I could take some as a souvenir. I want to make these again!

Although I occasionally make Western sweets, I rarely have the opportunity to make Japanese sweets, so I decided to make a reservation for an interesting experience. It was a bit far from the center of Arashiyama, but it was a wonderful Japanese sweets shop.
When I made my reservation, there happened to be around 20 Taiwanese university students there for their graduation trip. Since they didn't understand the language, I was curious about how they would be taught, but the Japanese sweets artisan came around to show us how to make the sweets up close. Everyone seemed to be having a great time!
I’m not very skilled, but I was able to make some Japanese sweets that I was quite satisfied with. I made three types of wagashi (hydrangea, dianthus, and dew of the village) and kizatō (a type of cut-out sweet). The world of delicate Japanese sweets is intricate, but they teach you each step carefully, so even someone like me could do it. Using a spatula and cloth to make the sweets was a very refreshing experience.
Each type had slightly different methods, which made it fun. After finishing the sweets, we could enjoy them on the spot with matcha. I got to eat the sweets I made along with the matcha, and I could take the other sweets home as souvenirs. It was great! I definitely want to try making them again!
洋菓子を作ることは(たまに)あってもなかなか和菓子を作ることはないため、面白い体験をしてみたく予約してみました。
嵐山の中心街から若干遠いですが、とても素敵な和菓子さんでした。
私が予約した時はちょうど台湾の大学生の卒業旅行と重なり、20名前後の人がいました。
その人たちは言葉がわからないので、どうやって教えるのかなってと思っていたら、和菓子職人さん近くまでまわってきてもらって、作り方を近くで教えてくれましたよ。みんなすごくキャッキャしてて楽しそうでした!
自分の分については私は不器用なのですが、わりと満足いく和菓子を作ることとができました。
上生菓子3つ(紫陽花、撫子、露の里)ときざと(切り抜きのようなお菓子)を作りました。
繊細な和菓子の世界ですが、1つ1つ丁寧に教えてくれるので、こんな私でも作ることができました。ヘラや布巾を使って作るのもとても新鮮な体験でしたね。
それぞれちょっとずつ作り方も違うので楽しかったです。
お菓子を作り終わった後は、お抹茶と一緒にその場で食べることができます。自分で作ったお菓子と抹茶。そして他のお菓子は持ち帰れるんです。お土産にもなってよかったです。また是非作ってみたいと思いました!
