【2026 Latest】MATCHA is popular worldwide. Next, discover a new Japanese cultural experience: creating your own matcha bowl
Japanese matcha is gaining popularity all over the world.
Matcha lattes and matcha sweets are widely enjoyed abroad as part of Japanese matcha culture.
Why not enjoy matcha not just by drinking it, but also with your own unique tea bowl?
At EDO SARYO in Shibuya, Tokyo, we offer a 120-minute Japanese cultural experience combining tea bowl painting, matcha, and Japanese sweets.
Why is MATCHA so popular worldwide?
Matcha is one of Japan's representative tea cultures. Its unique flavor, vibrant green color, and distinctly Japanese sense of beauty are part of its appeal.
In other countries, some people become interested in traditional Japanese culture itself through matcha lattes and sweets.
When you visit Japan, why not not only taste matcha, but also experience its culture and tea bowls? This is a wonderful way to enjoy your trip.
Next, enjoy creating your own matcha bowl
The appeal of matcha is not just its taste. The bowl you use to drink tea also reflects a Japanese sense of beauty.
At EDO SARYO, you can treat a tea bowl as a canvas and paint your own design.
Choose your favorite colors, draw your own patterns, and create a one-of-a-kind tea bowl.
It is recommended as a memento of your trip to Japan or as a special anniversary activity for couples.
Three experiences to enjoy at EDO SARYO
1. Tea bowl painting experience
Design a tea bowl using your own creativity. From simple patterns to colorful art, you can enjoy expressing yourself freely.
2. Matcha experience
Enjoy a moment of tasting matcha while experiencing Japanese tea culture. You can enjoy a relaxing time in between sightseeing in Tokyo.

The difference between pottery making and tea bowl painting
For those looking for a pottery experience in Tokyo, EDO SARYO's tea bowl painting is highly recommended.
In a typical pottery experience, you enjoy the process of shaping a vessel from clay on a potter's wheel.
At EDO SARYO, however, the focus is on painting the tea bowl.
Rather than shaping the vessel, you create your own unique piece through colors and designs.
