What you can expect
Begin your experience by stepping into the world of nigiri sushi. Under the guidance of a professional chef, learn to shape your own nigiri from scratch — gripping, pressing, and plating fresh fish with your own hands. Discover the craft and care behind every piece of sushi, then sit down to enjoy the meal you've made together.
Then, slow down with a table-style Japanese tea ceremony. No kneeling, no strict rules — just you, a chasen (bamboo whisk), and a bowl of premium Uji matcha. Learn to whisk your own bowl, taste the depth of Japan's finest matcha, and enjoy a seasonal wagashi sweet as your host shares the history behind this centuries-old tradition.
Together, these two experiences offer a rare glimpse into the heart of Japanese culture — hands-on, intimate, and genuinely memorable.
Set in the tranquil countryside of Ayabe, Kyoto, this 160-minute class welcomes all skill levels. No experience needed — just curiosity and an appetite. Small groups keep the atmosphere relaxed and personal, with your instructor available throughout to guide and answer questions.
Book this Experience Set and save ¥800 compared to booking each activity separately.
