What to expect
In this approximately 30-minute experience, pick up a bamboo whisk and follow staff guidance to prepare matcha yourself. No previous experience is needed. Once your tea is ready, enjoy it with a seasonal Japanese sweet and discover how the flavours complement each other.
The activity takes place in a dedicated area in front of the tea room and focuses on making and tasting matcha. It does not include a tea ceremony demonstration or private instruction by a tea ceremony practitioner.
The experience is conducted in Japanese, with English support through machine translation. An English-speaking interpreter is not available.
For bookings made the day before or on the day, an alternative sweet replaces the omogashi.
