Matcha Experience & Japanese Culture Workshop (Zurich)

An interactive and heartwarming Japanese cultural experience engaging all five senses.

At the Japan Food Festival in Zurich, we shared unforgettable moments together.
Here is a glimpse of what you can experience:

1. Handmade Mochi & Tea Ceremony Quiz
We begin by making fresh strawberry mochi completely from scratch.
After that, enjoy our popular “Tea Ceremony Quiz” with 10 questions about matcha.
In the past 4 years, no one has scored 10/10 yet 😏
You will learn about matcha cultivation and how to truly enjoy it – all while having fun.

2. 3 Minutes of Calm in the Middle of the Festival
Amid the lively festival atmosphere, we intentionally create a moment to pause.

After preparing and drinking the matcha, we practice a 3-minute meditation together.
Even this short moment resets your body and mind – making the matcha taste deeper and more meaningful.

3. Connection Beyond Language
People from different countries come together and share the experience of matcha.
Even without many words, a special connection naturally emerges.

Matcha culture is steadily spreading across Europe.
Why not become part of it?
