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.

★★★★★With my friend we did the matcha ceremony and nerikiri lesson, and it was one of our most amazing experiences in Japan! Wakako is a very very kind host, and even we were late a little bit from the lesson, she was very patient, and even held the lesson for more time, we cannot say enough how grateful we are! The shapes of the sweets were very cute, and the tea ceremony was very interesting. We could try to make and properly drink the matcha. Her daughter joined us for the lesson and she is so lovely as well! After the lesson Wakako kindly made us onigiris, gave us japanese food for tasting, we felt really welcomed and made us so happy. She is a wonderful person, we really enjoyed our time together. I really recommend joining her class, she is a nice, warm person, and enthusiastic about cooking, it is so nice to see. And the cats are just lovely :)
