Try your hand at making mochi with Miku and Sachiyo

Alongside Miku and Sachiyo, you'll learn how to create these sweet and savoury morsels, combining Japanese tradition with contemporary influences.

The workshop begins with an introduction to the origins of mochi, its role in Japanese cuisine and the different ways of cooking it. Miku and Sachiyo will also share their approach: bringing to life the recipes handed down by previous generations, by adapting them using fresh, local produce.

You will then go into the kitchen to discover the ingredients and the preparation stages. You'll learn how to work the glutinous rice dough, cook it, shape it and then garnish it in a variety of ways. During the workshop, you'll be able to prepare a range of recipes, from classic sweets with red beans or sesame seeds to more original savoury versions inspired by European cuisine.

Throughout the session, Miku and Sachiyo guide you step by step, helping you to understand the essential gestures, such as the correct folding of the dough or the balance of flavours.

After the preparation, it's time for the tasting. The group will share a moment around the creations they've made, with a meal made from mochi and other homemade Japanese specialities!
