Today was the Spring Semester Japanese class field trip. Together we visited a wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) shop in Kamishichiken called Oimatsu and experienced making our own wagashi.

Everyone started by washing and disinfecting their hands.

At the end, the AKPers were able to eat the wagashi they made and try them with green tea. They were also able to bring any leftovers home as a souvenir.
