31st Handmade Otoso Workshop

About this event

This is an experiential workshop where participants grind crude medicinal herbs using a traditional medicine-making tool called a yagen (pharmacist's mortar) to make otoso (tososan spice mix for New Year sake). It offers rich content combining a lecture to learn about the history and medicinal effects of otoso with a hands-on crafting experience, taking about 1 hour. The participation fee is 500 yen per person, and you can take home 2 packets of the tososan you made. Applications for the November sessions will start on a first-come, first-served basis on the website from Sunday, November 8 at 12:00, and applications for the December sessions from Sunday, November 22 at 12:00. The capacity for each session is 12 groups (up to 5 people per group). Non-participants are not allowed to enter the venue.
