Sumi Painting and Sake Experience in Kyoto

Sumi and Sip is a unique cultural experience in Kyoto, where you can discover the beauty of Japanese ink painting in a traditional machiya townhouse. Step into a beautifully renovated historic space and enjoy a relaxing 90-minute experience designed for beginners. With gentle guidance in English, you’ll learn the basics of sumi-e, from grinding ink to creating your own artwork inspired by Japanese nature and aesthetics. After painting, unwind with a tasting of carefully selected Japanese sake and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Kyoto. Whether you’re traveling with friends, as a couple, or on your own, this is a chance to slow down, connect with Japanese culture, and create a meaningful memory. More than just an art lesson, Sumi and Sip is about experiencing Kyoto through creativity, tradition, and a little time to simply enjoy the moment.
