Mochi & Matcha
Matcha preparation is an integral part of the workshop: Together, you will prepare high-quality Matcha and enjoy it with your freshly made mochis – just as intended in Japanese tea culture.
As a special extra, after the workshop, you will receive a one-time 10% discount at the Shinkoko Teahouse.
