In Japan, our classic shortcake always comes with strawberries.For many of us, strawberry shortcake is the Christmas cake.I actually didn’t know until adulthood that in France, people enjoy Bûche de Noël instead… Today, I visited a charming new pastry shop near my home and paired their strawberry shortcake with a bowl of rich Uji matcha.Surprisingly, matcha pairs beautifully with Western sweets.I especially love enjoying it with canelés or chocolate.In  this video, I whisk ma

Every tip we receive—whether during the Matcha Experience or our Chiropractic sessions— carries a story, a moment of kindness, and a piece of someone’s journey in Kyoto. And we never keep that kindness to ourselves. Every year, on Thailand’s “Children’s Day,” small temples in the northern region gather local kids and hand out sweets, snacks, and small gifts. Many of these children live simple lives, and a small bag of treats can make their entire week sparkle. This year, ever

Just a short walk from Kyoto Station, our small wellness studio offers a hands-on matcha experience unlike any other in Japan — where you can learn how to make a smooth, café-style matcha latte using a traditional Japanese lacquerware bowl. Recently, we introduced a handcrafted lacquer bowl made in Japan, designed to help you create fine, creamy foam effortlessly. Its rounded interior allows the bamboo whisk (chasen) to glide naturally, producing the kind of silky texture tha

The French guests were very understanding and appreciative of Japanese culture. The guests from France who visited recently said, “We’re so glad we could do this matcha experience today — our flight leaves early tomorrow morning!” They were full of smiles as they left, and later I noticed they had already uploaded two lovely photos of themselves on Instagram. Yesterday morning, another group arrived — three guests of Iranian nationality who currently live in Germany. They cam

How a Simple Lesson in Whisking Became a Memorable Cultural Experience At Kyoto Matcha Experience , we often say that every guest brings their own story — and this one touched our hearts. A few weeks ago, a wonderful group of six travelers from Georgia  visited us. They first stopped by to ask if they could have some matcha tea. I explained that our place isn’t a café, but a hands-on matcha-making experience , much like a small cultural class where you learn to whisk and enjo

Family photo time while enjoying the matcha they whisked themselves. When guests visit our small tea room near Kyoto Station, they immediately notice a small, elegant lacquered container placed beside the matcha bowl. That is the “Natsume” (棗) — a traditional tea caddy used to hold Uji matcha powder. At first glance, it may seem modest, like a simple accessory. However, the Natsume embodies the spirit that Japanese people have cherished for centuries — respect for history, mi

On a slightly chilly morning in October, I received a phone call from someone who wished to book a Matcha Experience that very afternoon at 3 p.m. The guest turned out to be a Brazilian chef — a man with the presence and passion of Brazil’s Gordon Ramsay. A well-known culinary influencer with over 2,700 followers on Instagram, he visited our Kyoto Matcha Experience that day. When I looked at his Instagram, every dish he posted looked absolutely delicious — full of color, text

In the U.S., about 10–15% of chiropractors specialize in the Gonstead Method, known for its precision spinal analysis and one-point adjustments. In Japan, however, less than 2% of practitioners are trained in true Gonstead techniques — making it an exceptionally rare, high-level chiropractic method. At Kyoto Happy Chiropractic & Reflexology, we combine this authentic Gonstead-style adjustment with our original Muscle Body Technique, designed to deeply relax and stretch the mu
