Casual Matcha Tasting in Tokyo’s Historic Asakusa

Experience the charm of Asakusa while sipping your way through Japan’s rich tea culture. In this 30-minute casual matcha tasting, you’ll compare six different ceremonial-grade matcha from five of Japan’s most renowned tea-producing regions, plus two “fake” matcha samples for learning about matcha. You’ll explore the unique flavor profiles of each tea, from Kyoto’s deep umami to Shizuoka’s fresh and grassy notes. With a tasting worksheet and an information sheet about each region, you’ll discover the subtleties that make every matcha special and find your personal favorite. Tokyo is the perfect place to sample Japan’s matcha variety in one sitting, something you can’t easily do in a single tea-growing region. This friendly Asakusa café experience is ideal for travelers, families, and curious foodies who want to enjoy authentic matcha without the formality of a traditional tea ceremony. Relax, sip, and let the flavors of Japan unfold before you.
