Make Matcha Incense with Upcycled Matcha! in Kyoto Uji

This hands-on experience lets you make “matcha incense” that gently releases its fragrance when warmed, using high-quality Uji matcha that cannot be sold as food and would otherwise be discarded. The incense is shaped using wooden molds traditionally used to make wagashi, creating beautiful pieces that look just like traditional tea sweets and are sure to make you want to admire them. The experience takes place in a quiet corner of a temple in the heart of Kyoto・Uji's sightseeing district. In this tranquil setting, surrounded by the aroma of matcha, you can enjoy an elegant, quintessentially Kyoto moment. This is a special experience where you can discover Uji's distinctive culture of premium matcha while making matcha incense, a rarity even around the world.
