Hands-On Japanese Craft in Tokyo with Mochi Wagashi & Matcha

• This program lets you enjoy both Japanese tradition and fun hands-on activities. The highlight is making your own original uchiwa (Japanese fan). Using pressed flowers and Japanese-patterned origami paper, you can design your very own uchiwa to take home as a special memory. This activity is inspired by the Japanese spirit of appreciating nature and plants. After the craft session, you will enjoy a cup of matcha latte and two types of wagashi. Matcha latte is made by mixing powdered matcha with milk, which makes it creamy and mild — perfect for first-timers or even children. For the sweets, you will try two unique creations: Monaka – a traditional Japanese sweet made with crisp wafers. Here, it’s arranged in a modern style by adding custard cream, mochi and your choice of dried fruits as toppings. Even those who don’t like sweet red bean paste can enjoy this version. Kokedama-inspired sweet – Kokedama means “moss ball,” a style of Japanese gardening where plants are grown in a ball of soil covered with moss. This dessert is designed to look like a cute little moss ball. Through both making and tasting, you will have a relaxed and fun way to experience Japanese culture.
• Make Your Own Uchiwa (Japanese Fan)
• Design and decorate your own round paper fan using pressed flowers and origami. Uchiwa have long been used in Japan as a summer accessory to create a refreshing breeze. You can bring your handmade fan home as a unique souvenir.
• Matcha Latte (Green Tea with Milk)
• Matcha is powdered Japanese green tea. When mixed with milk, it becomes matcha latte — smooth, creamy, and less bitter than plain matcha. It’s easy to enjoy even if it’s your first time trying matcha.
• Japanese Sweets (2 Types)
• Modern Monaka – a crispy wafer filled with custard cream, mochi, and topped with dried fruit. A new twist on a Japanese classic. Kokedama Sweet – a cute dessert shaped like a Japanese moss ball plant.
