Discover the delicate artistry behind Japan’s most beloved sweets at Robata’s new Mochi & Matcha Masterclass, led by Melbourne’s Mochi queen, Sayaka Otsu. 

Across two immersive hours, you’ll learn to craft delicate handmade mochi—traditionally enjoyed in Japan as a symbol of celebration and good fortune—alongside the art of whisking ceremonial matcha, a practice steeped in centuries of tea culture. 

Guided by Sayaka (as featured in Broadsheet), you’ll craft, whisk and taste your way through an intimate, thoughtful learning experience. After a joyfully unhurried afternoon, you’ll leave with your own creations, recipes, and a deeper appreciation for these timeless traditions. 

Date: Sunday 24th of May

Time: 2:30- 4:30pm

Tickets: $99pp, and include:

• Your handmade mochi
