Description
Enjoy Kyoto's food culture with a Japanese traditional sweet-making and tea ceremony experience.
First, you will begin by making yourself a type of Japanese traditional sweet called 'Nerikiri'.
You will start the making process from the coloring of the white bean paste.
You will continue with the Tea ceremony experience using Uji Matcha.
Finally, you can enjoy the Japanese sweets you prepared along with your own Matcha tea.
'Nerikiri' is a sort of high-grade Japanese sweet. It is made using colored white bean paste crafted in the shape of seasonal flowers/fruits.
Coloring and crafting processes are a great opportunity to express your creative sense.
You can make real Japanese sweets using white/red bean paste produced by Kyoto's long-established shops.
After preparing the matcha yourself, you can enjoy it with the sweets you prepared earlier.
The sweetness of the high quality white/red bean paste will perfectly balance the taste of the Matcha.
Enjoy with us the world of Tea during this Japanese culture experience.
