-Tea ceremony
Green tea is one of the Japanese traditional drink and famous for healthy food in the world.
You can enjoy Matcha with Japanese sweets.
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 tea ceremony experience, you can have matcha and fine Japanese sweet as well in my home.
I expect to show beautiful traditional Japanese garden near my house called Chinzanso if you would like.
I love interacting with people from over seas. Please feel free to contact me if you have any request. I will welcome to meet your expectation.

★★★★★Kanae was an excellent hostess! We shared good food and tea in a casual setting, then afterwards we strolled through the local area to visit a garden and a shrine. I learned a great amount about everyday life and traditional customs.
