Overview

  • Discover the fascinating world of Uji tea at Chazuna Museum and enjoy a hands-on matcha-making experience using a traditional stone mill. Unlike a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, this experience focuses on understanding Uji tea itself, from tea leaf cultivation and production methods to the unique qualities that make it famous. Grind high-quality Uji tea leaves yourself, whisk your own matcha, and savour its fresh aroma and delicate flavour. Explore the history and culture of Uji tea through engaging museum exhibits and discover the traditions behind one of Japan’s most celebrated teas. This experience is ideal for travellers interested in Japanese culture, tea lovers, and anyone looking for an authentic and interactive cultural activity in Uji.
