What you'll do

A Warm Welcome

Welcome to our cool and friendly London kitchen! Your culinary journey begins with a fascinating introduction to the history of mochi. In our small, personal classes, your experienced chef will get you settled in and excited to create these delicious Japanese treats.

Create the Perfect Dough

Get hands-on with the most important step: making the signature mochi pastry. We’ll guide you through the process of creating that famously soft, smooth, and chewy texture, ensuring you master this key technique with confidence.

Wrap the Mochi

Discover the satisfying skill of filling and sealing your mochi. You’ll learn the traditional technique to neatly encase delicious fillings, creating the perfect little parcels of flavour. It’s a wonderfully mindful and fun part of the class.

Decorate Your Delicacies

Unleash your creativity as you add the finishing touches. You'll learn simple but beautiful ways to decorate your mochi, working with a variety of flavours to create a colourful and tempting collection of desserts.

Your Delicious Creations

Step back and admire the beautiful mochi you’ve made! You’ll leave the workshop with a box full of your own multi-flavoured Japanese desserts to take home and share, plus the skills and know-how to recreate them whenever you like.

Add-on Recipe Collection Booklet

This is your journey of cooking adventure.
You can get beautifully designed and printed recipe from each class once you bought the booklet (Two colours to choose).
You also will get Polaroid-style photo sticker from your class, showing your highlight in the class you attended.
Your chef tutor also will give you a stamp. It is your certificate of success.

Mochi is more than just a dessert — it’s a chewy bite of Japanese culture and tradition, now delighting taste buds across the UK. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to make these irresistible treats from scratch while discovering their fascinating history.

Whether you’re a baking beginner or a dessert enthusiast, our friendly chef-tutors will guide you every step of the way. Classes are small, in a spacious, air-conditioned studio, and weekday bookings often feel like a private experience.

5/5 from Lily Wilde, attended Jan 2025: Was a lovely class, easy to make and very informative! Had a great time, would recommend :)
5/5 from Stephen Teodore, attended Nov 2024: Same review as the chinese tea cakes class- I did but the in the same day. But I'd like to add especially for the mochi class, which was so delicate and "fragile", Hana was so understanding and kind and patient. They are very friendly and informative & knows what they're doing-- The experience shows, as well as profesionalism. The place is very homey and their hospitality made the session feel like I was in home rather than a workshop place- very comfortable and not intimidating at all even if you're a beginner like me! Totally recommended amber will come back for sure! 6 stars!
5/5 from Elena Handscombe, attended Nov 2024: Had such a wonderful time!! Thank you so much for a great afternoon.
5/5 from Ana Marta Capaz, attended Nov 2024: It was a birthday present from my girlfriend for us to experience creating the food we love. Simon and Hanna are great and it was a fun activity. They took great care that we could make a lot of mochi and it was totally a good value for the money.
5/5 from Luke Casey, attended Nov 2024: This was so much fun!! We are lovers of asian food and in particular japanese deserts so the mochi making class makes sense. I've never done this sort of thing before but really enjoyed the class and got the hang of it quickly. Simon and Hanna were lovely and helped someone as clumsy as me make some pretty tasty mochi! They were really warm, bubbly and lovely to speak to. The whole experience was more than expected and would recommend to anyone! We'll be looking for other classes in the future!
5/5 from Doriane Madec, attended Oct 2024: Simon and Hanna are both very nice and patient. It was amazing how they took their time to explain how to make mochis, while sharing some fun facts about the history of this dish. They also gave us time to try on our own so we could properly learn. Overall a great experience!
5/5 from Stefania Hadjiyianni, attended Oct 2024: Amazing class, amazing couple!! Totally enjoyed every moment! You should try it! I Loved it!
5/5 from Daniel Windsor, attended Sep 2024: Me and Jess made mochi with Hanna for Jess’ birthday. Hanna was very kind, a great teacher and very informative too. She gave us the recipes too so that we can make mochi at home which we definitely will be! We had a great time and we’d definitely come back.
5/5 from Anisa Begum, attended Aug 2024: Loved the class, it was fun, Simon and Hanna were very friendly and went through the steps and supported along the way.
5/5 from Klara Trtnik, attended Aug 2024: Really good time to spent on vacation. The teacher is really nice and explains I'm a way anyone can understand. Everything you need is provided, so no need to bring anything.
5/5 from Luke Porter, attended Aug 2024: 5/5 absolutely lovely couple who made our anniversary cooking class so so nice! Amazing x
5/5 from Sophie Leman, attended Aug 2024: Friendly staff, good food. Extremely accommodating of dietary requirements and plant based needs. We would definitely recommend!
5/5 from Mathew Frost, attended Jul 2024: Amazing class and had a great time the teachers were fantastic and made our time worth it
5/5 from Georgina Cohu, attended Jul 2024: We had the most amazing time with Simon and Hanna. They were so friendly and very helpful. They even send you the recipes via email! Would recommend mochi making and cheesecake making thoroughly
4/5 from Narumon Yongsakul, attended Jul 2024: Very fun to make and very tasty with easy understandable steps guided by the supportive and enthusiastic teachers.

Women-owned

At Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen, we believe cooking is more than following recipes — it is a craft, a culture, and a shared experience.

Founded in London with a passion for precision and authenticity, we specialise in immersive Asian culinary workshops that combine traditional knowledge with hands-on learning.

From sushi masterclasses to Chinese tea ceremonies and artisan dessert experiences, every class is designed to give you more than just a finished dish. We teach you the “why” behind the technique — so you leave with confidence, not just instructions.

Precision.

Our sushi classes focus on technique, structure and presentation.

We guide you to create beautifully shaped rolls with professional standards — even as a beginner.

Culture.

Our tea and Matcha workshops explore centuries of history and philosophy, helping you understand the story behind what you taste.

Creativity.

Our dessert workshops celebrate colour, texture and joy — turning simple ingredients into stunning, handcrafted treats.

We keep our classes small to ensure personal guidance and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re joining for a date night, birthday, team event or simply to learn something new, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and thoughtfully designed space.

Many of our weekday sessions feel almost like private classes — giving you time to ask questions and refine your skills.

Our Philosophy

Craft. Culture. Confidence.

We believe learning should feel rewarding, not rushed.

Beautiful, not complicated.

Professional, yet welcoming.

When you leave our studio, we want you to feel proud of what you’ve created — and confident enough to recreate it at home.

We look forward to welcoming you to Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen.
