Great Japanese tea ceremony experience. Enjoyable and Gained a lot of accurate knowledge about Japanses tea and ceremoany. Very friendly and kindly answers our questions. Delicious japanese sweet. We are looking forward to learning more in the future. Thank you very much. Anchalee and Korbtham
Amazing experience from start to finish. With so many tea ceremony experiences available in Tokyo, I’m so glad I chose this one. The small group setting made a huge difference. It created a relaxed, intimate atmosphere and gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions and have meaningful conversations with the tea master. She was incredibly knowledgeable and explained not only the tea ceremony itself, but also the history, philosophy, and cultural significance behind each step. You could really feel her passion for sharing this tradition. The experience never felt rushed, and I left with a much deeper appreciation for Japanese tea culture. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic and personal tea ceremony in Tokyo.
An authentic demonstration of a Matcha tea ceremony. Afterward, we were also allowed to prepare a tea ourselves under guidance, using the typical "bamboo whisk." At the end, we collectively prepared a traditional Japanese sweet. Excellent!
Yo-Su was an excellent host and taught us the deep meanings and significance behind an authentic Japanese Tea ceremony. Highly recommended!
We really enjoyed the tea ceremony, learned a lot of background information, and all of our questions were answered.
The experience was good, clearly showing how matcha tea is traditionally made and served to guests.
Fun, informative, skilled, kind, delicious!
I really enjoyed the experience! The host is very friendly, explains patiently, and shows passion for what she's doing. It's very enriching to participate in the ceremony while visiting Japan.
A very beautiful and elegant tea ceremony. The traditional sweets and tea were also super delicious 😊. My partner and I were very satisfied.
A very interesting experience! First, we watched the teacher's professional demonstration of the entire tea-making process, and then we got to make our own wagashi (Japanese confectionery) and simply whisk tea. It was a really fun experience! 👍
