Learned so much about matcha!

We learned so much about matcha and how it's made. Very interesting information. Such a unique experience to be able to taste so many different types of matcha.

A One-of-a-Kind Matcha Experience You’ll Never Forget

If you want to truly understand matcha, this is the experience you cannot miss. The couple who run this class are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about every aspect of matcha—from cultivation to preparation and tasting. They answer every question with care, and by the end of the class, your appreciation and understanding of matcha will grow exponentially. We had so much fun making our own matcha and trying every variety in their matcha flight—it’s truly an unforgettable, hands-on experience. Tasting matcha from multiple regions, each with its own unique flavor profile, is something rare that you won’t find anywhere else. Beyond their expertise, they are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and personal experience that feels like learning from friends rather than just instructors. Whether you’re a matcha enthusiast or simply curious, this class is an unforgettable journey into the heart of Japan’s matcha culture. Highly recommended!

Ultimate Matcha Experience

If you love matcha then you will definitely love this experience. However, even if you're undecided about matcha this is a great way to not only explore the different types and flavour profiles, but to also understand more about it's history and the process of making matcha- from planting all the way to brewing. You will get to sample so many types of matcha that this experience is definitely value for money. Chisei is extremely knowledgeable about all things matcha and made learning about it interesting. I'm not a matcha lover but I still really enjoyed this experience.

Great value for money and very interesting

It was a great experience and well worth the money! We were taught about the preparation, history and cultivation of matcha and got to try 8 types of matcha, 3 matcha lattes and handmade matcha sweets! Chisei was very approachable and clearly very knowledgable and passionate which made the experience so special!

A lovely experience..Matcha Magic 🍵

What a wonderful way to end my trip to Japan! I learnt so much about Matcha.. right from the growing stage 🍃through to mastering the technique of creating a delicious warm cup of matcha! 🍵 now I have a new appreciation of all things Matcha. This husband & wife duo shared so much knowledge & skill and made delicious treats to accompany the matcha tasting experience. Would definitely recommend! Oh & you can purchase matcha making items there which I thought were cheaper than the tourist shops!

Matcha Making Experience and Matcha Comparison in Tokyo: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.

How much does Matcha Making Experience and Matcha Comparison in Tokyo cost?

+

Prices start at $9800 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Matcha Making Experience and Matcha Comparison in Tokyo take?

+

Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.

Is Matcha Making Experience and Matcha Comparison in Tokyo worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Matcha Making Experience and Matcha Comparison in Tokyo?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Matcha Making Experience and Matcha Comparison in Tokyo suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Matcha Making Experience and Matcha Comparison in Tokyo?

+

Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Matcha Making Experience and Matcha Comparison in Tokyo start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Tokyo?

+

Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Tokyo?

+

Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Tokyo?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
