Making matcha is mostly wrist: a bamboo whisk, a quick zigzag stroke and a fine froth if you’ve done it right. Asakusa’s classes pair it with mochi or seasonal sweets to soften the bitterness, and a few add a kimono. Think of it as the tea ceremony without most of the ritual.
Whisk matcha by hand in Asakusa, learn tea traditions from English-speaking instructors, and enjoy your cup with Japanese sweets.
