Experience making matcha incense in a temple in Uji!

Matcha Incense Making in Kyoto

1 hour

Easy

Upcycle matcha and create your original matcha incense with a soothing and relaxing aroma.

This unique incense is made from 100% pure matcha, which is sourced from matcha powder that can’t be sold as food. It is a smokeless incense that releases a pleasant aroma of tea and creates a relaxing effect.

In this experience, you will be able to create 5–6 small incense pieces. Choose your favorite wooden mold and press the matcha to create the shape.
The wooden molds are made by craftsmen who make molds for traditional Japanese sweets, making the incense look like cute pastries.

The temple where the experience is held has beautiful views and many seasonal flowers, so take this opportunity to create a wonderful souvenir while relaxing in the center of Uji!
