Tour 1: Handmade Experience of Traditional Japanese Confection (Murasuzume) (Up to 50 people)
Murasuzume is one of traditional Japanese confectioneries in Kurashiki, Japan.
This confection is a crepe-like pastry made with bean paste wrapped in a lightly baked
round dough made from egg and flour.
The moist outer layer coupled with the bean paste inside make for an elegant sweetness.
In this tour, you can try to make your own hand-made murasuzume.
Make your own piping-hot pastry with an exceptional taste!
Note that the tour 1 has an age requirement (ten years and upward)
and a height requirement (over 120 cm in height) to make the handmade confection.

Momotaro, the protagonist of one of Japan's best-known folk tales, is said to be based
on someone actually active in the Okayama region. This museum displays woodblock prints,
picture-card shows and other materials related to Momotaro, and fascinating karakuri wind-up dolls
that fool the eye are on display throughout the museum. Moreover, a Japanese-style haunted house
is also opened for an only limited time period in summer.
