🍵 Matcha Experience with Sushi Yoko
Fantasy Basel 2026 — Saturday, May 16
Take a moment to pause in the midst of your busy day.
Matcha is not just a drink — it is a traditional Japanese form of mindfulness that brings your awareness into the present moment. Holding the bamboo whisk (chasen), gently whisking the tea in slow, circular motions — within this quiet ritual lies the power to calm the mind.
In this “Matcha Experience,” you will prepare your own matcha using an authentic bamboo whisk while learning the traditional method step by step. As a special highlight, you can also take photos with a beautiful Japanese umbrella.
The matcha we use comes from a traditional tea house in Uji, Kyoto, with over 450 years of history. Experience the authentic taste and aroma passed down through generations in Japan’s most famous tea region.
