Today at #Ikiya, we’re hosting a special workshop dedicated to #matcha, where Antonella explains history, production, and preparation of the most famous Japanese #tea.
But do you know what matcha really is? It’s powdered green tea used in the #Japanese tea ceremony. Matcha spread in the 16th century, but it was the great Master Sen no Rikyu who codified a new way to drink tea and savor a unique, irreplaceable moment: the #Chanoyu.

Today we’re telling you about a lesser-known yet truly traditional #Japanese dessert: warabi mochi.
Unlike many more familiar #wagashi , they stand out for their unique texture—soft, delicate, and almost jelly-like—made from a plant-based starch similar to agar. They are then coated in kinako, a roasted soybean flour with a warm, slightly nutty flavor.
Their sweetness is subtle, designed to accompany tea without overpowering it.

This morning, in our tea room in #Treviso, we have a #Gyokuro tasting scheduled, featuring one of the most precious #Japanese teas.
Gyokuro (玉露), meaning "Jade Dew" or "Jewel Dew" in Japanese, perfectly captures not only the rarity of this tea (only 0.3% of all tea produced in #Japan is Gyokuro) but also its rich, intense aroma, a pure expression of umami.
