Activity
Matcha incense is made in Uji, Kyoto, the birthplace of luxury matcha green tea.
Incense made with matcha (powdered green tea), a material very rarely used in incense.
Since the wooden molds used for making sweets are used to mold the incense, the incense is as pretty like Japanese sweets.
This activity comes with a free special incense burner (5,940 yen tax included). With the special incense burner, you can enjoy the aroma of tea in your home.
It can be folded and is small and compact, so it is easy to carry.
In Uji, the hometown of the Tale of Genji, visitors will see a demonstration of incense burning enjoyed in the Heian period.
Enjoy the fragrance of tea while appreciating the long history of incense burning, a method that Hikaru Genji also enjoyed.
