*If children under elementary school age will participate, only one parent or guardian may accompany them. Please provide the information of the participating child in the application form and the parent or guardian's information in the remarks section.

*You can come empty-handed. (No need to bring anything​ such as an apron or hand towel)

*As the event will be held in a Japanese-style room, please sit on the tatami mat. Sitting formally in a seiza position is unnecessary, so it is acceptable to sit with your legs crossed. However, please note that chairs will not be provided.

*In case you would like to take your wagashi sweets home, please bring a container/box with a lid and a bag.​ The best container size for one wagashi piece is W 6cm × D 6cm × H 4cm.

*For overseas customers, we will provide instructions on how to make Musubimaru-shaped wagashi desserts (in English or Traditional Chinese). Unfortunately, we do not have instructions on how to make traditional Japanese desserts that reflect the atmosphere of the Sendai, Miyagi, and Tohoku regions. Still, we do have an advanced version of the Musubimaru-shape. We will all make it together with the instructor while watching their demonstration. Our staff will also be available to support you as much as possible.

*We will contact you by email 2 days before the event to confirm whether the event will take place. If you do not receive an email from the organizer, please contact us (080-2815-8321 or support@i-sendai.jp).

*The first picture is of the traditional Japanese sweets you will create in this workshop. In May 2024, we plan to make a decorative Japanese dessert shaped like Sendai and Miyagi’s sightseeing mascot, "Musubimaru," and a rooster/hen (Year of the Rooster). The actual color may differ from the picture. Please be aware of this in advance.
