Overview

Not a coffee class — a ceremony.
Learn hands-on from Saki, a master in the lineage of Kyoto's respected Ashijima roastery.
She welcomes you, brews you a cup, guides you to pour your own, and — as a former world backpacker who loves travelers — sends you off with her favorite local Kyoto spots.
Just 4 guests, steps from Nishiki Market: the perfect calm start to your Kyoto morning.
Take home beans, a recipe, and a skill.

What's included

  • All brewing equipment
  • Specialty coffee beans (local Kyoto roaster)

What to expect

In Kyoto, coffee can be a ceremony. Steps from Nishiki Market, a Master welcomes you, brews you a cup, then guides you — hands-on — to perform your own: grind, bloom, pour. Taste the difference, take home Kyoto-roasted beans, and leave with a skill and a story. 80 minutes, small groups, all levels.

• Learn from a Master — a real Kyoto coffee craftsman, not a generic guide
• A coffee "ceremony" inspired by the spirit of tea ceremony
• Hosted by Saki, a former world backpacker who loves travelers
• The perfect calm morning ritual to start your day in Kyoto
• Get Saki's favorite local Kyoto spots — the ones guidebooks miss
• Hands-on pour-over you perform yourself, guided in English
• Steps from Nishiki Market — easy to pair with your market visit
• Small group only (max 4 guests) — quiet and personal
• Take home specialty beans from a local Kyoto roaster
