🍵 Start the new year with a quiet tea time.
― Experience Japanese culture by “creating, savoring, and feeling” at Edo Saryo ―
Happy New Year.
This year, Edo Saryo will continue to offer you
a calming “Japanese culture experience”.
This is neither a tourist attraction nor just a cafe.
It is a completely new style of hands-on workshop that brings together
tea-ware making, matcha, Japanese sweets, and music.
• Perfect for first-timers
• No need to bring anything
• Take home the tea-ware you make
• Enjoy matcha and Japanese sweets on the spot
“It was a quiet yet memorable experience.”
More and more guests are saying this.

▼ Tea-ware painting ― Create a one-of-a-kind piece
Edo Saryo’s main experience is
tea-ware painting (Edo-nuri experience).
Guests
choose their favorite tea-ware from a variety of shapes and sizes.
• Yunomi (tea cup)
• Chawan (tea bowl)
• Small bowl
• Matcha bowl
Building on the skills of artisans,
you will layer colors, carve, polish, and create patterns.
With every movement of your hands, the piece takes on a new look.
Because you cannot predict the result until it is finished,
you may discover “a beauty you never imagined.”
A line you thought was a mistake
may become your favorite pattern over time.
We often hear such stories.
⸻
▼ Popular for dates ― A quiet time to connect
Recently, bookings by couples and married couples have been increasing.
• A “hands-on experience” makes for a memorable anniversary
• It never feels awkward, even in silence
• Showing each other your work naturally sparks conversation
“I’m usually prone to nerves,
but the time spent quietly making the piece was so relaxing.”
This is another common sentiment unique to Edo Saryo.
The space is highly photogenic,
but its calm atmosphere and sense of openness
make it a popular choice for a mature date.
⸻
▼ A memorable travel and sightseeing experience ― A “personalized souvenir” you can use
More and more people are adding
hands-on activities to their Tokyo sightseeing and Japan travel itineraries.
The reasons people choose Edo Saryo are simple.
• The entire experience takes about 120 minutes
• Open even on rainy days
• You can take home the piece you make
And after your trip is over,
every time you use that tea-ware at your own dining table,
the quiet time you spent in Japan will come back to life.
“Not a souvenir, but an experience that lets you “bring back memories.”
That is the value of Edo Saryo.
⸻

▼ What Edo Saryo values
Edo Saryo was born from a desire
to change the image of tradition as “difficult”.
• Experience over formality
• Process over perfection
• Discovery over mastery
When you focus on your tea-ware,
you naturally focus on your own heart as well.
Every time we see you quietly concentrating
and your expression gradually relax,
we are glad we chose to continue this place.
⸻
▼ New Year’s greetings ― May this be a gentle year for everyone
To everyone who visited Edo Saryo last year,
and to everyone we will meet in the future.

thoughtfully and warmly.
For dates.

For a quiet time to reset by yourself.
Please feel free to try it for yourself.
From the moment you pick up the tea-ware,
a quiet journey begins.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you.
