Japanese Mochi Class with Yoko from Osaka


Three Flavors of Mochi

Sunday, March 20th
4:00 PM - 5:45 PM Pacific Time

Join Yoko from Osaka and learn how to make not one, but THREE types of mochi — mochi dumplings in a coconut sauce, stuffed mochi with a sweet filling, and chewy baked mochi donuts. A great dessert for those with dietary restrictions since they can be made gluten-free and vegan!
