In this experience, you’ll have the chance to leisurely enjoy Kyoto’s unique “evening-only” culture in a small group setting in Kyoto.
After check-in, we’ll provide an easy-to-understand introduction to the history of Japanese mochi-pounding and the tea ceremony.
Next, you’ll try authentic mochi-pounding using a traditional mortar and pestle.
The mochi you make will be served fresh on the spot, allowing you to enjoy its warm, freshly made flavor.
You will also participate in a matcha tea ceremony using authentic tea ceremony utensils.
We will carefully explain traditional tools such as the chasen (tea whisk), chashaku (tea scoop), and kettle, which you rarely have the opportunity to handle in everyday life.
At the end of the experience, we’ll take a group photo, and you’ll receive a special souvenir from the owner.
We are committed to providing a cultural experience that will become one of the most special memories of your trip to Japan.
