Wagashi Making & Tea Tasting in Yanaka (YANESEN Tourist Information & Culture Center)
谷根千ツーリストインフォメーション＆カルチャーセンター 和菓子作り・お茶体験
Ueno & Yanaka · In Yanaka, Taito-ku, near Ueno/Nippori stations
Why we recommend it
The YANESEN Tourist Information & Culture Center runs this hands-on wagashi and tea-tasting session inside an actual traditional Japanese house in the old Yanaka neighborhood, led by an English-speaking local instructor rather than a generic cooking-school format. It pairs the sweet-making with a proper tea tasting rather than treating tea as a garnish.
