  • Tea Ceremony

    Tea Ceremony

    The Japanese tea ceremony is a centuries-old tradition closely tied to Zen Buddhist principles, and a popular way to experience Japanese culture. There are several variations on this ritual. At its base, powdered green tea (matcha) is prepared and served in accordance with strict rules. Oftentimes, wagashi (Japanese sweets) is served alongside the bitter green tea.

Cooking Class Information

WAGASHI means Japanese sweets.
You make 4 pieces WAGASHI,then 1 piece for the tea ceremony.
It takes 1〜1 hour & half.

Next I do Japanese tea ceremony demonstration.

You can learn how to be a guest.

Try making matcha by yourself.

During the procedure you eat WAGASHI which you make.
