Nihongo Chat + J-Culture: Wagashi

Language Center Event

Friday, November 8, 6–7:30 PM

Join Japanese-language students and native Japanese speakers at this informal gathering to practice Japanese and English! Anyone with some Japanese language skill is welcome to attend.
日本人の方、英語を勉強中の方、ふるってご参加ください！日本に興味のある方や日本語を勉強中の方と楽しく会話をしましょう。

For 30 minutes during the November meeting, Tomoko Yagi will demonstrate how she makes a Japanese sweet called nerikiri. Yagi’s curiosity of wagashi stems from both her tea studies (Urasenke School of sado) and from her experience as a certified nutritionist in Japan. She has worked as a Japanese food consultant for restaurants such as Sobaya, Cha An teahouse, and TIC Restaurant Group in New York’s East Village. Tomoko also teaches classes on wagashi at the Nippon Club and at Cha-An Classes.
