Drinking matcha (powdered green tea) served with wagashi is part of daily life for many locals, and it is also part of the city’s history [See our
Culture page]. You can find many wagashi shops all around town, and enjoy them with matcha in places like
Meimei-an Tea House or
Gessho-ji Temple. Don’t miss the wonderful tea room of
Matsue History Museum, where you can watch Mr. Tsugio Itami, one of the most distinguished wagashi makers in Japan, perform his art in front of you. You can also learn how to make your own wagashi in
Karakoro Art Studio.
