We’re hosting a daifuku masterclass with MATCHADO to learn the art of making these beaut Japanese sweets
This intimate 8 person hands-on masterclass will see a guided 90 minute session in making four daifuku: two matcha strawberry daifuku and two classic daifuku, filled with fresh strawberries and grapes. If you don’t know, daifuku are a type of wagashi (Japanese sweet) consisting of soft, chewy mochi wrapped around a sweet filling, typically red bean paste. The name ‘daifuku’ translates to ‘great luck.’ Once reserved for special occasions, these treats are now enjoyed much more regularly.
Traditionally made by grinding glutinous rice into a sticky paste, Daifuku can now be prepared easily at home using store-bought glutinous rice flour. In this workshop, we’ll use ingredients sourced in London from Japan Food Express and Natural Natural to show how simple it is to make Daifuku once you have Hiromi’s guidance and recipe.
The masterclass will also include a matcha whisking tutorial, so you can enjoy a fresh cup of matcha alongside your daifuku. You’ll learn where to find the best ingredients and gain the know-how to create sweets that pair beautifully with Japanese matcha.
Led by MATCHADO founder Hiromi Matsunobu, a Japanese tea specialist and confectionery expert, sharing her skills and passion for matcha culture. This is suitable for both beginners and experienced matcha lovers.
