15 years of thought, offered at the feet of Shibuya's god Hachikō. Believing that this single pink cup will softly become a guidepost (soul care) to accompany someone's loneliness.
Our company supports 'April Dream', a project aiming to make April 1st a day to broadcast dreams.
This press release represents the dream of WACHA Inc.
In a world where technology is accelerating and everything is becoming automated,
what are we starting to lose?
While convenience and ease are evolving,
the experience of people moving their own hands is quietly disappearing.
On March 18, 2026, the spring-limited product 'SAKURA MATCHA' released by WACHA Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Hanayo Kato) drew a massive response, selling out completely right after its launch.
This was not simply because it was beautiful pink powder.
What we arrived at after 15 years of time was,
a quiet time of 'whisking with one's own hands', the exact opposite of efficiency and convenience.
In modern times, surrounded by digital technology and prone to feelings of loneliness and anxiety, WACHA now advocates the value of 'Go Inward'.
We do not deny the existing beverage culture, but propose the act of 'whisking it yourself' as an alternative option.
By whisking matcha with your own hands, you sharpen your senses, temporarily detach from the hustle and bustle, and return to your true self.
The act of whisking is an experience that not only regains the five senses but also quietly expands the resolution of senses that have been almost lost in modern times.
We believe this is a necessary cultural experience for people today.
■ Thank You for Selling Out. And so, the 'Whisking Culture' Began to Move
Last year, WACHA introduced 'Sakura Matcha' for the first time. And this year, that experience has evolved further.
The powered-up 'SAKURA MATCHA' this year sold out immediately after release, with successive requests for a restock.
Amidst this, a symbolic event occurred.
'I just really want to try whisking it with my own hands.'
