3 weeks ago5/5Took the class as a group of friends and honestly, it was a fantastic time. The host’s English is excellent and she made everyone feel at ease, even as we fumbled our way through whisking the matcha. Making sweets was more fun—and trickier—than we expected, but she was patient and funny and made sure everyone had a treat to take home. We learned a ton about the traditions behind the tea ceremony, which made tasting the matcha even more meaningful. Great activity for groups, and we left inspired to try matcha at home. Highly recommend if you want a quick burst of Japanese culture!Sep 20264/5My partner and I booked this hoping for both a fun activity and some local culture, and we weren’t disappointed. The instructor’s decade of expertise really came through, especially when demonstrating how to whisk the matcha correctly. English explanations were spot on and nothing felt lost in translation. It was a small group, which meant we could each ask our questions. Only thing to note—the space is cozy, so if you’re coming with a bigger group, it might feel tight. All in all, a relaxing hour with great drinks and unforgettable sweets.3 weeks ago5/5Took my parents and sister to this experience and it was a hit with everyone! The tea master was incredibly welcoming, patiently guiding us through every step of preparing matcha and crafting our own seasonal Japanese sweets. It really felt like we were getting a private peek into centuries-old traditions. We left with not only happy taste buds but also lots of stories about Japanese culture to share with friends back home. Would absolutely recommend this as a family activity!3 weeks ago5/5Went with my friends and we all agreed it was something special. We dived into the details of both making matcha and crafting those beautiful seasonal sweets. The tea expert answered all our quirky questions about Japanese holidays and tea culture. It was also really fun seeing everyone's sweets turn out different! The hour was packed but didn’t feel rushed. I highly recommend if you're visiting Tokyo with a group.3 weeks ago4/5Our family loved learning about Japanese traditions in such a friendly, respectful way. Making matcha ourselves felt special, and decorating the seasonal sweet was the best part for the kids. A little short for us, but still a wonderful way to experience Tokyo’s food culture together.
