We absolutely loved this experience. All three of us (my friend and daughter (adult-age) loved everything about it, the setting, the making of the sweets and tea, the sharing of information/history—most of all, we were so touched by the kind attention given to us by our wonderful teachers: Emiko, Junko, and Ayaka. We felt that they put so much effort preparing and during the session to ensure that we had this lovely time. We would highly recommend it!

Cute Character Mochi & Matcha Mixology Workshop in Tokyo

Drinking Tours

What a joy it was to experience the Cute Character Sweets & Tea Mixology Workshop! We were a family of (4), and Emi and her teaching team greeted us with such a warm welcome. The workshop was beautifully decorated with traditional style items that added extra to the whole experience. We had so much fun cooking and creating the dumpling characters with shapes, sizes, colors and details (delicious). Then we had a lesson on how to make the most beautiful drinks, one with cherry blossoms and one with black tea and maple syrup - both were too lovely to drink... but we drank both and what delightful tastes - simply delicious. Emi and her team were the utmost polite ladies and had fun along with us as we moved through our lessons. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone searching for the perfect treats and tea creation experience. Best of Luck to Emi and her team on continued success with their workshops.

The Mixology class was fun. Class was run by a lovely group of ladies. The drinks were colorful and yummy. They gave us a gift set at the end which I did not expect. Overall, great experience. Only one small issue was we had a trouble finding the building the class was in. A sign on the street would be very helpful.

I recently had the pleasure of attending Emiko-san's Mixology Workshop. The workshop was nicely organized and it took place in a lovely traditional room with lots of space and decorations to take photos with. I could really feel Emiko-san's knowledge and passion for tea. My favourite part was watching her demonstration on how to recreate the construction of these drinks. I felt I was in safe hands we began designing our own teas mocktails with her supervision. I give Emiko-san and her team big extra points for accommodating my gluten and dairy sensitivities! I had a wonderful time at the tea design workshop. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a big tea fan, who wants to get creative with food and is looking an activity that balances traditional and modern aspects of Japan.

Joining Mario’s pairing event was a great experience. Beside amazing quality drinks and food, I’ve learned much about Japan’s culinary culture. Completely loved the white beer combined with seafood, and the famous Kyoto matcha cake was the best dessert ever. Also, it was a great chance to meet new people and hear their interesting stories. Mario certainly knows how to hold a party: he was there when we needed him, but also knew when to withdraw to let us comfortably chat and enjoy the food. Highly recommended to anyone searching for new culinary experiences.
