The Japanese tea ceremony is a centuries-old tradition closely tied to Zen Buddhist principles, and a popular way to experience Japanese culture. There are several variations on this ritual. At its base, powdered green tea (matcha) is prepared and served in accordance with strict rules. Oftentimes, wagashi (Japanese sweets) is served alongside the bitter green tea.
In this hands-on experience, you'll make a delicious Matcha Parfait using traditional Japanese ingredients.
First, we'll prepare chewy shiratama mochi and refreshing matcha jelly from scratch.
Then, using a variety of prepared sweets and ice cream, you'll create your own original parfait with your favorite decorations.
To complete the experience, you’ll whisk matcha with a bamboo tea whisk (chasen) and enjoy your handmade parfait together with a cup of freshly prepared matcha.
The venue is the kitchen space on the 3rd floor of Cafe Mont Nijo Kawabata, just across the Kamo River, diagonally opposite The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto. Open the door and head up to the 3rd-floor kitchen space where your cooking experience begins!
As you arrive, instructor Miki will greet you and introduce the experience in a friendly atmosphere.
You'll hear about what we’ll make today – including shiratama mochi, matcha jelly, and how to create your original parfait.

Using a bamboo tea whisk (chasen), you'll learn how to prepare matcha the authentic way.
