Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience in Tokyo

The Nerikiri experience was very nice, where we had the pleasure of learning about different Japanese wagashi (sweets) and actually made some. It wasn't that hard, but it required precision I would say. Also we really enjoyed learning about how the Japanese drink their tea and is the proper manner, so if you're a matcha lover, I'd definitely recommend trying this one ❤️ Thank you for the beautiful experience!

The teacher was so kind and welcoming, making sure to explain in English for the few foreign participants. I learned so much about the tea ceremony and enjoyed making beautiful wagashi. A calm, authentic, and memorable experience — definitely a must-try in Japan!

Booked via klook. Started on time and kids finished the sweets on time. It was good that the design was simple enough for kids to make. There were many Japanese people at the session and very well priced. 2800 yen per person. 90 minute session. $123 aud for 4 people. Steps explained in more detail in Japanese but was sufficient in English to get the job done.

We attended the Tea Ceremony Ohigashi and Nerikiri for S$35.79. At first there were only 3 of us for the Ohigashi making. Then a big group of students came and join us for the making of Nerikiri and they left. For thr tea ceremony, 2 others joined us. In total, the class lasted about 2 hours with some waiting time in between. It was a fun activity to do besides sightseeing.

A really great day, the welcome is very pleasant, the hosts are smiling and considerate. Despite a small misunderstanding (we had booked for three activities, and we almost had to after only one done), everything went well and the hosts apologized a lot. We loved this morning and learned a lot. We were alone for the wagashi and for the tea there were many more people, mostly Japanese. It is easy to find the building.

I recently attended a Japanese tea ceremony class with ohigashi and nerikiri making, and I can’t recommend it enough—it’s a full 5-star experience! The sensei, who is Japanese, was absolutely wonderful. Even though I can speak a little Japanese myself, she made sure to accommodate the me, explaining everything clearly and with so much patience. You could tell she really wanted everyone to feel comfortable and understand the beauty behind the tea ceremony. Her kindness and gentle teaching style made the whole experience feel so special and welcoming. Learning how to make ohigashi and nerikiri was an absolute joy. The sensei took her time to show us every step, and she encouraged everyone to get creative while making these delicate sweets. I loved that she was always there to help and made sure we were having fun along the way. The entire class felt relaxed, and I appreciated how unhurried everything was.

I took the package to make 2 diffferent sweets and tea ceremony. The instructore was very friendly, helpful and provided a lot of information on the makings. The sweets and tea were delicious.

A truly unique and authentic experience! The tea ceremony was meticulously prepared, with clear and engaging explanations that helped us understand the deep meaning behind each gesture. The atmosphere was relaxing and traditional, perfect for immersing ourselves in Japanese culture. The part dedicated to preparing the Nerikiri sweets was equally interesting: guided step-by-step, we managed to create small masterpieces, beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. It's surprising how much precision and delicacy it requires! The people who accompanied us were very kind and helpful, making the experience even more special. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience something authentic and different from typical tourism. 🍵✨

I booked this in on a bit of a spur of the moment decision but glad I did. It was a fairly large class (in a classroom style) but the instructor was so sweet and encouraging. She guided all of us through our sweets creations and praised everyone for their efforts. Also super interesting to learn the history elements and traditions of the tea ceremony!

Very nice event and perfect host. Sweets and tea preparation were explained in detail. Especially interesting was the use of traditional tools.
