Highlights from Our Wagashi Making & Tea Ceremony Event on September 25th!
Hi everyone! Santos here from HOTEL GRAPHY SHIBUYA!
On September 25, we hosted a fun “Wagashi Making & Tea Ceremony Experience” event. Guests joined in to craft traditional Japanese sweets and immerse themselves in a cultural tea ceremony. Stay tuned for more unique experiences like this!
This event offered a serene escape from daily chaos, inviting participants to unwind and enjoy traditional Japanese culture in a relaxed setting. Whether with loved ones or solo, it created a calming, memorable experience for everyone involved.
For the event, we were thrilled to welcome Ms. Koike from “immer,” a skilled wagashi instructor active across Tokyo. Her clear, step-by-step guidance made it easy and enjoyable for beginners to create their own wagashi masterpieces!
Participants got hands-on with creating charming nerikiri wagashi, a playful introduction to traditional Japanese culture. They enjoyed their handmade creations on the spot, paired perfectly with matcha tea for a delightful experience!
We also displayed the matcha used that day, as well as the tools and bowls for making wagashi.
We are already preparing for the next event to offer another wonderful experience, so please feel free to join us!
