Description
What truly sets this experience apart is its authentic, hands-on approach led by local experts in the heart of Tokyo. Unlike typical demonstrations, this class lets you fully immerse yourself in Japanese tea culture by preparing matcha from scratch using traditional tools and techniques. The experience goes beyond just making tea—you’ll also craft delicate Japanese sweets that perfectly complement matcha’s rich, earthy flavor. With small group sizes, personalized guidance, and cultural storytelling throughout, it offers a deeper connection to Japan’s traditions. Blending education, creativity, and taste, this class delivers a memorable and interactive cultural experience that stands out from standard cooking or tea sessions.
