Yuki was amazing! So kind and thoughtful. Excellent English
We really enjoyed our experience. The matcha connoisseur was so pleasant, it made the experience worth while. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone coming to the region or to anyone who enjoys matcha.
The experience was great. The guide was helpful and brought it to life. The location was beautiful. It was very family friendly and personal small group.
Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad our guide brought the experience to life and kept things personal in a small group 😊 The beautiful setting by Arashiyama Station makes it a lovely spot for families, and being an open-air terrace, it's an easy place to enjoy whatever the weather. If you're ever back in Arashiyama, we'd love to welcome you again! 🍵
Went with my family last minute and is by far a highlight and one of the most memorable and fun events from the trip!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad a last-minute decision with the family turned into one of the highlights of your trip 😊 That's exactly the kind of moment we hope to create. Come back and enjoy it again in Arashiyama anytime! 🍵
Super great experience all around. We had fun and learned a lot. Plus the location is very beautiful.
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you had fun, learned a lot, and enjoyed the beautiful setting 😊 Arashiyama really is a special spot, and we love that it added to the experience. Come back and enjoy it again anytime! 🍵
This was a good, inexpensive and short experience that’s also indoors in a very comfortable café. Sojo was my guide and he was very helpful and friendly. Not only did I get a chance to grind the Matcha but also taste it. And the matcha leaves are fresh from Uji, which is the Matcha capital of Japan so you know it’s good quality stuff. Highly recommend.
Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad Sojo made the experience so welcoming, and that you enjoyed both the grinding and the tasting 😊 Fresh leaves from Uji really do make all the difference — you can taste it in every sip. Come back and enjoy another bowl with us in Arashiyama anytime! 🍵
Such a wonderful experience to make the matcha from scratch (almost, since i did not grow the leaves). Yuki was great in holding conversations as we worked hard at grinding, sieving and whisking.
Thank you for the fun review — "from scratch (almost)" made us smile 😊 We're so glad Yuki kept the conversation going while you worked through the grinding, sieving and whisking. He'll be delighted to hear it! Come make another bowl with us in Arashiyama anytime! 🍵
It was an amazing experience, the instructor, Yuki, explained everything very well and had a lot of knowledge, 100% recommend this experience to anyone who loves matcha.
Thank you for the wonderful review! Yuki will be so pleased to hear his explanations landed so well — sharing every detail of the process is what he loves most 😊 It means a lot that you'd recommend it to fellow matcha lovers. Come grind another bowl with us in Arashiyama! 🍵
I’ve lived in Kyoto for a long time, but I had actually never experienced the real deal when it comes to matcha. This workshop was absolutely awesome! We started by grinding the tea leaves with a stone mill, and I’d never had the chance to whisk and drink my own matcha before. It was such a genuinely experience and I learned so much. I highly recommend this tour to anyone!!
Thank you for such a lovely review! It means so much that someone who has lived in Kyoto found it a genuinely new experience 😊 Grinding the leaves and whisking your very own bowl for the first time — that's exactly the moment we love to share. We'd be delighted to welcome you back to Arashiyama anytime! 🍵
The matcha was so good, and I had so much fun! I want to do it again!!
Thank you for the enthusiastic review! We love hearing that — come back and grind another bowl with us in Arashiyama anytime! 🍵😊
