Maccha making and have maccha with some traditional Japanese sweets for the tea ceremony.
Also, if you would like, you can try wearing Kimono.( I will help putting them on you)
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 class, I will show you how to prepare maccha and we will make maccha together sitting at a table.
Then enjoy the maccha with Wagashi
( Japanese sweets) from a local Japanese sweet shop. Then if you like, you can try wearing Kimono or Haori ( Kimono overcoat) and walk around the temple near my house for a picture.
My name is Kyoko.
I live in the suburb of Tokyo (25 minutes from Tokyo station and also from Akihabara ) It is a very nice area with big temple and big trees. I will meet you at the station and give you a short tour of my town through the nice old temple and old streets (*10 minutes walk)
I love cooking/eating all different kinds of food.
Also I enjoy inviting people to my place from all over the world to have meals together.
I lived in British Colombia, Canada for 4 years and while I was there, I started Japanese catering in the Rocky Mountains.
I was in the food and hospitality industry all my life (Canada and Japan ) and I love meeting new friends and share Japanese culture through cooking.
Let’s have fun cooking together.
