Learn the foundations of Japanese wagashi-making in this small online class focused on shiro-an, the smooth white bean paste used as the base for nerikiri.
We will start with a demonstration of how shiro-an is made from white beans, including the key steps, texture, and consistency to look for. Afterwards, we will make nerikiri dough together from scratch and go through the basic techniques needed to prepare it properly.
This class is suitable for beginners as well as anyone who has already made wagashi but would like to better understand the ingredients and process behind nerikiri.
You can join the class live online, ask questions, and follow along from your own kitchen. A recording will also be available for 1 week after the class, so you can review the process again afterwards.
