・Japanese sweets Treat
・Bowls of matcha (First Terumi will serve you in an authentic way of tea ceremony, Next is your turn to make another bowl of matcha with Terumi's instruction).
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.

My passion is meeting people with food and tea culture, and sharing my passion for your healthier life. During the pandemic, I graduated from Japanese Holistic College, and cured my families and friends who have gut issues for a few years.

I love to wonder new places, enjoying great foods, cooking, doing groceries or caring for my balcony plants.

My love for food started from very young age. After living in US for school, and loved to travel around overseas, I got even more obsessed with international cuisines and Japanese tea cultures. So I launched my worldwide Cooking Class in 2008 to Japanese people, and launched my Japanese Cooking Class and Local Tour to people from oversea in 2020.

★★★★★Wonderful Tea Ceremony with Terumi at her home. We made traditional Japanese sweets followed by the tea ceremony held in a traditional Japanese room. Terumi explained the history and the steps involved in the tea ceremony . We thoroughly enjoyed this must do Japanese experience. Thanks Terumi for a lovely, informative morning.

★★★★★I enjoyed a few wonderful hours with Terumi san. She is a caring and intelligent instructor who made me feel comfortable. She has an abundance of knowledge on Japanese food, sweets and the tea ceremony. Not only does she have the technical skill to help you make delicious food, but she also deeply understands the philosophy of wa shoku and the tea ceremony. Terumi picked me up from the station (I accidentally went to the wrong one!) Terumi also went the extra mile in preparing an addition of food for our lunch, which we shared with her wonderful Aunt. I was so full! There was a genuine feeling of love and gratitude at the table. Terumi and I made nerikiri (a type of Japanese sweet) which wasnt as hard as it looks! The tea ceremony was a beautiful process and I felt the added level of instruction (I was asked to have a go!) helped me to more fully understand the practice. I thought a tea ceremony would be quite austere, but thankfully this was fun. Terumi had all the photos of our day uploaded really quickly in a shared folder. She even took me out to a local shop so I could buy a souvenir of our day. What a wonderful experience; I can't wait to do it again!
