What You’ll Experience
✿ Craft Nerikiri: Edible Art
Nerikiri is a refined type of wagashi made from white bean paste and glutinous rice flour, known for its smooth texture and sculpted seasonal designs. These sweets are often served in tea ceremonies—not only delicious, but also visually stunning. You'll learn how to shape and color them into beautiful forms like flowers or leaves, perfect for the season.
Tea Tasting Like a Local
Taste three distinctive types of Japanese tea—Sencha, Genmaicha, and Hōjicha—sourced from a long-established tea shop in Yanaka. You’ll learn the proper way to brew each tea using traditional Japanese methods, appreciating their unique aromas, flavors, and cultural significance.

️ Warm Hospitality & Community Connection
Our workshop is hosted in a cozy, retro Tokyo townhouse where you’ll enjoy warm conversation and relaxed hospitality. You’ll also support local artisans and small businesses by using ingredients and tea sourced right from our neighborhood.
