Next, you will have the opportunity to try authentic mochi pounding using a traditional mortar and pestle.
The freshly pounded mochi will be finished on the spot, and you can actually eat the warm, freshly made mochi.
Furthermore, you will participate in a matcha tea whisking experience using authentic tea ceremony tools.
We will carefully explain traditional tools such as the chasen (tea whisk), chashaku (tea scoop), and natsume (tea caddy), which you rarely get to handle.
At the end of the experience, you can take a group photo, and there will also be a special souvenir from the owner.
We offer a cultural experience that will become one of the most special memories of your trip to Japan.
