Hands-On Japanese Craft in Tokyo with Mochi Wagashi & Matcha

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: Japanese and 1 more

Make Your Own Uchiwa (Japanese Fan):
Design and decorate your own round paper fan using pressed flowers and origami. Uchiwa have long been used in Japan as a summer accessory to create a refreshing breeze. You can bring your handmade fan home as a unique souvenir.

Matcha Latte (Green Tea with Milk):
Matcha is powdered Japanese green tea. When mixed with milk, it becomes matcha latte — smooth, creamy, and less bitter than plain matcha. It’s easy to enjoy even if it’s your first time trying matcha.

Japanese Sweets (2 Types):
Modern Monaka – a crispy wafer filled with custard cream, mochi, and topped with dried fruit. A new twist on a Japanese classic.
Kokedama Sweet – a cute dessert shaped like a Japanese moss ball plant.

This program combines crafting and tasting. Take photos, share with friends and family, and enjoy Japanese culture in a friendly and approachable way.

What to expect

This program lets you enjoy both Japanese tradition and fun hands-on activities. The highlight is making your own original uchiwa (Japanese fan). Using pressed flowers and Japanese-patterned origami paper, you can design your very own uchiwa to take home as a special memory. This activity is inspired by the Japanese spirit of appreciating nature and plants.

After the craft session, you will enjoy a cup of matcha latte and two types of wagashi. Matcha latte is made by mixing powdered matcha with milk, which makes it creamy and mild — perfect for first-timers or even children.

For the sweets, you will try two unique creations:
Monaka – a traditional Japanese sweet made with crisp wafers. Here, it’s arranged in a modern style by adding custard cream, mochi and your choice of dried fruits as toppings. Even those who don’t like sweet red bean paste can enjoy this version.

Kokedama-inspired sweet – Kokedama means “moss ball,” a style of Japanese gardening where plants are grown in a ball of soil covered with moss. This dessert is designed to look like a cute little moss ball.

Through both making and tasting, you will have a relaxed and fun way to experience Japanese culture.
