Making Wagashi with Mr. Toda
戸田屋正道さんと和菓子を作ろう
2/24/2018
We were delighted to have Mr. Toda from Todaya Shodo come and teach us how to make wagashi, and then enjoy eating our delicious hard work with a cup of matcha.
We learned the basic skills needed to make a gorgeous cherry blossom shaped jo namagashi, and afterwards Mr. Toda gave a demonstration of his incredible skills. I still can't believe t
hat such beautiful works of art are supposed to be eaten! Thank you so much for coming, I hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!
戸田屋正道三代目の戸田健志さんにお越しいただき、和菓子（上生菓子）作りを教えていただきました。子供たちが作ったさくらの花のかたちの上生菓子と、自分たちで点てた抹茶で贅沢なティータイムを過ごしました。 戸田さんの職人技を目にした時の子どもたちの笑みと歓喜の声。まるでヒーローを囲んでいるようでした。
