Full Description
Program Features
This cultural experience includes both Japanese traditional sweets making and a tea ceremony. Begin by creating Nerikiri, a refined sweet shaped to reflect the current season. These sweets are made with colored white bean paste sourced from long-established Kyoto producers.
You’ll craft two styles:
- Flower-shaped Nerikiri
- Kinton Nerikiri
After a short break, you’ll move into the tea ceremony experience. Using single-origin Uji Matcha, you’ll observe a traditional tea preparation demonstration before making and enjoying your own bowl of matcha.
Your handmade sweets, paired with the smooth, slightly bitter taste of matcha, provide a balance that reflects the harmony of Japanese aesthetics and flavor.
What is Nerikiri?
Nerikiri is a high-grade wagashi (Japanese sweet) known for its beauty and artistry. Crafted into seasonal shapes such as flowers or fruits, the process of coloring and shaping Nerikiri is a creative and calming activity suitable for all ages.
