Nakamura Tokichi (sede principal) - Experiência de cerimônia do chá e culinária do chá - Uji, Kyoto

If you're a matcha fan, this is a must-do experience. More than just the tea making and ceremony, the staff also guide you through the company's history 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, and well-balanced. The jelly and red bean dessert at the end was a perfect finish 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 buy matcha cans which are sold out from the store.

Overall, it was a very cool experience. You learn some history and information about matcha, and you even grind your own matcha! However, the tea leaves used were of lower quality and therefore didn't taste very good, which was a bit disappointing given the price.

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 travelers.

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.
