Make Daifuku Mochi

Daifuku mochi is a beloved traditional Japanese sweet—soft, chewy, and delightfully sweet. The name "Daifuku" literally means "great luck," and it’s said that eating Daifuku brings good fortune. This simple yet elegant treat is made from glutinous rice, and it’s naturally free from wheat, eggs, milk, and butter, making it a great dessert for everyone to enjoy.

In this 90-minute hands-on workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how to make Daifuku from scratch. You’ll receive a printed recipe to take home, ensuring you’ll have the confidence to recreate this delicious dessert on your own.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll sit down and savor your homemade Daifuku with a soothing cup of hot green tea, enhancing the experience and bringing a taste of Japan into your day.
