Experience the heartbeat of Japanese tradition within a sleek, studio designed for hands-on discovery. This contemporary space offers the perfect blend of ancient custom and high-energy fun, inviting you to dive into the history of Mochitsuki(mochi pounding) in a vibrant, climate-controlled environment. Your journey begins with a fascinating look at the cultural significance of this chewy delicacy before you step up to the steaming stations to prepare the premium glutinous rice.

Once the rice is ready, the studio transforms into a hub of activity as you take hold of a traditional kine (wooden mallet). Guided by expert instructors who make the process accessible for all ages, you’ll work in rhythm to pound the rice into a perfectly smooth, elastic dough. The climax of the workshop is the tasting session, where you can relax in the stylish studio setting and savor your handmade mochi. Paired with a calming cup of Japanese tea and five classic toppings—from sweet red bean to savory soy—it’s a fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable social experience right in the city center.
