Sake Pairing with Wagashi: Traditional Artisanal Japanese Sweets, Inspired by the Seasons

Wagashi, or “Japanese style confectionary”, are one of the unique food cultures of Japan. Made primarily from plant-based ingredients including azuki beans and rice, they are individually handcrafted by skilled artisans into edible works of art. Designs are inspired by the twenty-four Japanese micro-seasons, poetry and traditional celebrations.

Wagashi were originally created to serve during the tea ceremony, but nowadays are enjoyed in many different settings as a delicious part of every day life. Modern wagashi makers are busy experimenting with new flavours and inspirations, and we can now enjoy wagashi overseas – including in Paris!

Recently, wagashi and sake pairing has become popular in Kyoto and Tokyo. In this workshop we will introduce you to wagashi, the traditional artisanal sweets of Japan and explain how the different flavours and textures of these charmingly seasonal sweet treats can pair beautifully with many different types of sake.

This sake pairing workshop will feature two seasonal fresh Japanese sweets made by Toraya Paris, alongside an autumn-inspired yokan (sweet azuki bean jelly made with agar-agar) and suhama (confectionary made with kinako, sweet toasted soybean flour).

You will enjoy :
– 4 wagashi : 2 traditional seasonal wagashi, 1 yokan & 1 suhama.
– different sakes to be paired with thoses Japanese sweets.
