Description
Join us for a demonstration on making and decorating nerikiri representing the four seasons by Toshiko Sugii Steffes. Wagashi are traditional Japanese confections originally made to be served at tea ceremonies. They are considered a visual and culinary art form and are often enjoyed during special occasions or seasonal transitions. Nerikiri is a type of Wagashi that is created using white butter beans, sugar, mochi, and food coloring.
This demonstration will happen twice, first at 2:00pm then again at 6:00pm.
This event is part of Japan Week in partnership with the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.
