A Group Experience Conducted Mainly in Japanese

Participants can follow the host’s demonstration and observe each movement, tool, and sweet-making step closely.

International visitors should review the language arrangements and any available supporting materials for their selected date on the booking page.

Shape a Seasonal Piece of Nerikiri

Options with nerikiri introduce guests to a traditional Japanese sweet made with ingredients such as white bean paste and red bean paste.

Nerikiri often expresses flowers, plants, and seasonal beauty through delicate colors and shapes.

Participants roll, shape, layer, and decorate the prepared ingredients until the design gradually appears.

The completed sweet reflects the personality of the maker and creates a beautiful handmade souvenir to photograph before tasting.

Discover the Pairing of Matcha and Japanese Sweets

Tea options introduce guests to matcha and traditional utensils such as the tea bowl and bamboo whisk.

Tasting a sweet nerikiri or dry ohigashi before drinking matcha helps reveal more of the tea’s aroma and pleasant bitterness.

Experiencing the flavors together makes it easier to understand why tea and wagashi have developed as a carefully balanced pairing.

Choose from Three Main Experience Types

The booking page currently presents three main options:

• Tea ceremony with nerikiri making

Experience Traditional Tea Tools

Depending on the selected program, guests may also encounter traditional tools connected with grinding or preparing matcha.

Seeing the process before the finished bowl helps deepen appreciation for the ingredient and the careful work behind it.

Focusing on each movement and small detail creates a peaceful contrast with the busy streets of central Tokyo.
