This program lets you enjoy both Japanese tradition and fun hands-on activities. The highlight is making your own original uchiwa (Japanese fan). Using pressed flowers and Japanese-patterned origami paper, you can design your very own uchiwa to take home as a special memory. This activity is inspired by the Japanese spirit of appreciating nature and plants.

After the craft session, you will enjoy a cup of matcha latte and two types of wagashi. Matcha latte is made by mixing powdered matcha with milk, which makes it creamy and mild — perfect for first-timers or even children.

For the sweets, you will try two unique creations:
Monaka – a traditional Japanese sweet made with crisp wafers. Here, it’s arranged in a modern style by adding custard cream, mochi and your choice of dried fruits as toppings. Even those who don’t like sweet red bean paste can enjoy this version.

Kokedama-inspired sweet – Kokedama means “moss ball,” a style of Japanese gardening where plants are grown in a ball of soil covered with moss. This dessert is designed to look like a cute little moss ball.

Through both making and tasting, you will have a relaxed and fun way to experience Japanese culture.
