It was an amazing experience! Great for first time match drinkers!! Loved it!! Thank you, Kazu!
Kanon was an incredible instructor and helped us make delicious matcha. We had a great time and recommend doing this when you’re here!
Moon and Kazu were great hosts and it was a lot of fun to make and drink matcha!
Great experience with lots of cultural references and explanations relevant to matcha. Our hosts moon and kazu were amazing and made the experience super fun for me
Good class but very quick. The actual instruction was only about 30 min. They could improve it by giving printed instructions on what was taught.
Had a lovely time making Matcha. Guide was helpful and was very informative on how to make matcha. The sweet and matcha tasting with a bit of history was excellent.
Friendly, quick, easy. Educational
I had such a wonderful experience taking this matcha class! 🍵 It was fun, relaxing, and incredibly informative! I loved learning about the history and traditions behind matcha and how to properly prepare it. Our instructor, Hayato, was absolutely amazing! He was so welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable, making the entire experience even more enjoyable and memorable. It was such a beautiful way to immerse myself in Japanese culture and definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. I highly recommend this experience, especially with Hayato!💚
Absolutely loved the matcha-making experience! It was so much fun, informative, and thoughtfully conducted by Hayato. Got to learn the art of preparing matcha while enjoying every bit of the process. Such a lovely experience, especially for a matcha lover like me. Highly recommend!
Everything was good matcha was good quality Host was charismatic
Fun and interesting experience and teacher

Great experience with friends. Learned a lot about matcha. Very cultural and traditional.
It was a really fun experience with friends. I would definitely recommend this to everyone that comes to Tokyo as it is a culturally enriching experience. You also get to pick your own matcha and they offer sweets as well.
It was really fun experience with friends. I would definitely recommend this place. It was a cultural experience!
Great experience! Hayato and Koto were lovely and I learnt about the importance and history of matcha. Highly recommend!
Sensei hayato was entertaining and fun. Sensei coco was helpful
Such a lovely matcha experience! 🍵💚 Thank you, Taro, for a wonderful class. I already loved matcha, but getting to learn how to prepare it myself made it even more special. A sweet little highlight of my time in Japan—and a skill I’m excited to bring home with me! ✨
Very good experience and leaning.
Amazing experience! Thank you Taro for making this class enjoyable and nice!☺️
Arisa was very helpful and insightful on teaching how to make my own matcha. I learned new things about matcha. We took the early class so there were only three of us. I love the Kiwami one the most.
Arissa is very good with her job and very friendly and accommodating as well. Good job!
Nice host & fun, quick workshop. Around 30 min
It's a good experience especially for a cafe owner like me who wants to learn more about matcha. Thank you Ms. Arisa!
It was a very good experience! Arisa is very cool and nice! Highly recomended.
Wonderful! Highly recommended
It was a wonderful experience and great instructions. Hikaro made the matcha experience fun, well explained and we loved the sweets too!
Meh. Like being trapped in a long sales pitch for matcha tea, tea making tools, and tea cups sold by the class provider, with the tea making content brief and rudimentary and the clock ticking. The session was in a little room, beside the bathrooms, in a back corner of a building with the instructor in jeans and t-shirt and a group making chopsticks in the next room, leaving the impression there was no connection to any prior excellence or craft in tea making and that we’d walked into someone who started a business catering to tourists. That’s fine, but that’s not close to Japanese tea tradition. We had a good experience in Prague with tours booked though trip advisor: the guide was local, produced their own videos about Prague and knew the country’s and city’s history well and explained it well. A good guided walking tour. However, our experiences in Japan have made us more cautious.
Nice taste of matcha with some tea snacks
Miu was very friendly and a great host. Learning about matcha and making our own was fun and tasty. Definitely recommend the experience.
Got to learn about the tea ceremony and a bit of history before making the matching. We’re matcha pros now
Had a lot of fun learning about matcha! Sensei Hayato is a lot of fun! I’ve enjoyed his teaching!
This was a wonderful experience with my daughters. We all love matcha and thought it was something special to experience as a family. Our host (Hayato) was wonderful. We missed our original scheduled time due to train error and they were very accommodating to offer a different time.
Had a really good time and learned a lot! :)
Was a nice experience. Hayato-sensei explained everything in a interesting way.
Hayato communicated the history of Matcha, and the process so well. He was funny, informative and the experience was worth it. Matcha also tasted great.
The best!!! Had so much fun and learned a lot 🍵
Wonderful and interesing Experience! This is the first time I did a perfect matcha! Thank you
Excellent. My only suggestion would be to make the entrance sign visible.
Amazing! I learn a lot about matcha
so fun and educational, staff were friendly, approachable and charismatic, and the atmosphere was very warm. :) arisa-san is very cool
Koh was a great matcha master. He was welcoming to my partner and I even though we were a few minutes late. I enjoyed the mini history lesson about matcha and the meaning behind the tea ceremony traditions and matcha tools. The three things that I think will help improve the class are: Stop the background music when the class is ongoing, make the ambiance of the class close to a tea ceremony, and make the location easier to find. Thank you!
This was a fun experience, got learn a lot about matcha along with the proper etiquette with making and enjoying the matcha. Conveniently looked in asakusa. Great for groups and solo. :)
We had a lovely time making matcha today and the matcha mochi is really good too. 🙂
