The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.
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.
In this wagashi making and tea ceremony experience, you will learn about Wagashi and Nerikiri-traditional Japanese sweets before you start cooking. Then you will learn how to make Nerikiri dough using white bean paste with glutinous rice flour. Also you`ll learn how to put a color to Nerikiri dough. Then make two kinds of seasonal "nerikiri wagashi". You will learn how to shape the dough into a seasonal motif using the professional wagashi making tools. After you've made the nerikiri wagashi, take some photos at the special photo setting space, then you are able to taste your creations with a bowl of matcha green tea or take them with you in a special box.
