Tokyo, Japan

30 minutes (approximately)

The Concept
This is not a formal tea ceremony or a lecture. Instead, it is a 30-minute, self-paced workshop focused on the "simple joy" of making tea yourself.

The Experience
Under the guidance of on-site staff, guests use traditional tools to whisk two servings of matcha:

Traditional Pairing: The first bowl is enjoyed with a seasonal wagashi (Japanese sweet).

Modern Twist: The second bowl is transformed into a matcha latte, which can be enjoyed in the room or taken to-go.

Key Highlights
Accessibility: No prior knowledge or experience in tea ceremony is required.

Atmosphere: A rare, quiet tatami space in the heart of Harajuku.

Casual Style: No demonstrations or formal instructions—just a hands-on moment to connect with tradition at your own speed.
