Crafting the Zodiac Sheep with Wagashi Kinton

About this event

As part of the "Tsuno Tsunedzune #7" hands-on marche held in Tsuno Town, Kochi Prefecture, a wagashi-making experience titled "Crafting the Zodiac Sheep with Wagashi Kinton" will be conducted. In this experience, participants express the upcoming year's Chinese zodiac animal, the sheep, using the traditional Japanese sweet "kinton". Kinton is a fresh confection made by coating a central sweet bean paste ball with finely shredded nerikiri paste, and its fluffy appearance is utilized to shape a cute sheep. Through wagashi making, participants can enjoy traditional Japanese confectionery crafting alongside creative expression inspired by the upcoming zodiac year. Held at the Kotaro Yoshimura Residence, this experience will serve as a precious opportunity to touch upon local food culture.
