Nakamura Tokichi - Tea Ceremony Experience and Matcha Dessert Tasting in Kyoto, Uji

A must-do experience if you’re a fan of matcha. More than just the tea making and ceremony the staff also guide you through the history of the company and share fun facts about matcha and Uji. The matcha grinding experience is a workout! The ceremony portion is peaceful and makes you take time to appreciate the process. The matcha was delicious, not bitter, balanced. The jelly and red bean dessert at the end was a perfect ending for a warm May day.

I liked this private matcha tea ceremony for 4 people. I learned a lot and we ate jelly. Also, we got to but matcha can which is sold out from the store

very cool experience overall, you learn some history and matcha info, and you grind your own matcha! but the tea leaves used were of lower quality and thus doesn't taste very good, given the price that was a bit disappointing.

service: Suzuki is very kind and professional taste: delicious and get the privilege to enjoy their trademark dessert experience: wonderful experience and understand their cultural background restaurant ambiance: a real privilege to enjoy their exclusive 300-year-old tea house

amazing experience and loved the cultural aspects of the whole tea ceremony. The lady who hosted us was very friendly and lovely. also met other friendly travellers.

It was an enjoyable experience. Definitely recommend

The overall experience from start to finish takes 45m. the the other 45m you can stay there drinking your match and eating the dessert. The Matcha and Dessert are indeed very good but the experience itself is not worth the money. You drink and eat what they already sell in the store so it's not special. And also they ask you to grind the matcha yourself. I am not into this type of activities so I politely declined and the woman as a bit angry because of it. They speak a little English but it's enough to understand the history. Would honestly, NOT RECOMMEND.
