Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop with Matcha and Japanese Sake Tasting

Learn kintsugi in a guided workshop, then enjoy matcha, seasonal Japanese sweets, and a guided tasting of three Japanese sakes in about 1 hour.

Getting started

Begin your approximately 1-hour Standard Course by checking in for your kintsugi session. You are introduced to your experienced instructor, who explains the flow of the guided kintsugi workshop and sets you up with your ceramic piece. Once everyone is ready, the hands-on repair work begins at a relaxed, small-group pace.

What to expect

Kintsugi with matcha & Japanese sake tasting experience in Tokyo

This single-session activity combines a practical kintsugi lesson with a tasting-focused break, designed as a compact cultural experience in Tokyo. Across the hour, you move from repairing a ceramic piece to quietly enjoying tea and sweets, then finish with a structured sake introduction.

Features

• Start with a guided kintsugi workshop with an experienced instructor, learning how to repair a broken ceramic piece and highlight its cracks with golden seams that embrace imperfections rather than hiding them. The instructor demonstrates each step so you can follow along at your own pace.
• During the session, you work directly on your own ceramic piece to take home, turning it into a personal souvenir that reflects the kintsugi approach to mending and reuse.
• After the hands-on work, there is time to sit back with matcha and seasonal Japanese sweets, giving you a quiet moment to reflect on the kintsugi process while tasting flavors that shift with the time of year.
• The experience concludes with a guided tasting of three Japanese sakes, where you compare different regional styles and flavors and learn how to notice contrasts between each of the three pours.
