Rare Matcha Tasting & Kurinuki (Matcha Cup Carving)

This is the elevated version of our signature matcha workshop

You’ll taste premium matcha rarely found outside Japan, then carve your own ceramic cup using the traditional Kurinuki technique — shaping a piece that’s entirely your own.

We are the first studio in London where you can experience both rare matcha tasting and traditional Kurinuki carving in a single session.
