We have just launched our new certificate course this month. The Baked and Steamed Sweets Course is a WPA certified program designed to share the authentic techniques of Japanese wagashi (traditional sweets) with the world. While visually stunning wagashi like nerikiri have gained attention thanks to the rise of social media, Japan boasts a rich variety of other wagashi that are equally remarkable. Traditionally, these sweets have been crafted by skilled wagashi artisans. However, this course provides recipes that can be easily made at home. The recipes are adapted for home cooking, with adjustments to proportions and ingredients, making them accessible and delicious for anyone to prepare. This course was created by Miho Takahashi sensei, a wagashi artisan and a rising star with a 14 year experience in wagashi making including the 7 years working at Toraya, one of the most prestigious wagashi shops in Japan. She has opened her own school last year and already becoming a popular overseas holding workshops in Asia. Takahashi Sensei has won a number of Gold Awards in the National Wagashi making contest. In this 12 hour course, you will not only learn 8 kinds of popular Japanese sweets, but also learn about the ingredients that are used in Japanese sweets making as well as the background and history behind each sweet.. In wagashi making there are various kinds of flour, sugar and leaving agents, some quite unique and not heard of to most people outside Japan. 40 page textbook will tell you the difference between each ingredients and whether they can be substituted by other ingredients. This course also comes with a tool kit which includes all of the tools that are used in the course and hard to find overseas. You will need a steamer and hot plate (or shallow frying pan) . for the course. To learn more about this course including course fees, please visit, Wagashi Promotion Association's Website.. If you apply for the certificate, you will be entitled to use this recipe for commercial use including holding your own courses in your country.
