Read ClassBento UK Reviews

This is a fun activity in Archway, London

Mochi is more than just a dessert — it’s a chewy bite of Japanese culture and tradition, now delighting taste buds across the UK. In this fun and hands-on Parent & Child (10+) workshop, families will learn to make these irresistible treats from scratch while discovering the fascinating story behind this beloved Japanese dessert.

Designed for adults and children to enjoy together, this class is a wonderful opportunity to bond, learn new skills, and create something delicious side by side.

Whether you’re completely new to baking or simply looking for a memorable family activity, our friendly chef-tutors will guide you every step of the way. Classes are small, held in a spacious, air-conditioned studio, and weekday sessions often feel like a private experience.

In this Japanese dessert class, you and your child will learn to:
- Prepare Mochi dough with the perfect soft and chewy texture
- Wrap and shape Mochi into beautiful bite-sized pieces
- Decorate and present your desserts like a professional
- Explore different flavour options, including vegan and gluten-free varieties

Children will actively participate in shaping and decorating their Mochi, while adults learn the techniques needed to recreate the treats at home.

By the end of the class, each family will leave with a box of their own delicious Mochi creations, ready to enjoy or share with loved ones.

Great family class to learn how to make the best mochi! My son and I enjoyed it very much, Hanna and Simon are such a lovely couple of cooks. They received us really warmly. Hanna was really nice, patience and clear at giving instructions as we did our best at making the Mochis. I am looking forward to seeing them again as they offer a big range of classes of oriental cuisine! Thank you Hanna and Simon!
