Matsue Japanese Sweets Making Class

Matsue is one of Japan's three major confectionery centers, alongside Kyoto and Kanazawa. Japanese sweets culture flourished here after feudal lord Matsudaira Fumai promoted the tea ceremony. Long-established wagashi shops throughout the city offer classes where craftsmen teach refined sweets shaping techniques directly. The experience of crafting beautiful Japanese sweets modeled after seasonal flowers and natural phenomena with your own hands and savoring them with matcha tea allows you to feel the depth of Matsue's culture.
