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
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!
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.
We really enjoyed the tea ceremony, learned a lot of background information, and all of our questions were answered.
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! 👍
I highly recommend this experience it was very enjoyable and my sister and I had an amazing time!
The experience was good, clearly showing how matcha tea is traditionally made and served to guests.
Beautiful experience where I learned history and enjoyed the tea.
Fun, informative, skilled, kind, delicious!
