This experience is “A fun and interactive cultural session where you will learn about the history of matcha and make a simple matcha sweet together.”
Matcha is more than just a drink—it is deeply connected to Japanese history, Zen philosophy, and seasonal traditions. I will guide you through its background in a friendly and easy-to-understand way, even if it’s your first time learning about matcha.
For the sweets-making portion, we will create a simple dessert that you can easily recreate at home. I will support you step by step so you won’t get lost, even in an online setting. No cooking experience is required!
My lesson features:
✔ Clear and gentle explanations in English and Japanese
✔ Fun cultural insights beyond just cooking
✔ Easy participation from anywhere in the world
✔ Photo time & Q&A session after your sweet is finished
Whether matcha is completely new to you or you simply love Japan, everyone is welcome.
Let’s enjoy the heart of Japanese tea and the joy of making a traditional sweet together!
I look forward to meeting you soon!
