Please enjoy drinking Matcha and eating Japanese beautiful sweets (Nerikiri).
And then you can experience to make Matcha with the tea ceremony utensils.
I hope you enjoy and experience Japanese authentic culture.
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.
Are you interested in Japanese culture?
In your trip, you will enjoy many Japanese cultures, anime, Japanese food like sushi, noodle (ramen), Japanese beef.
The history of the tea ceremony is about 800 years old.
Even Japanese people don’t have any chance of authentic tea ceremony experience.
In my house, you can enjoy tea ceremony experience with Japanese sweets.
My house is near Myorenji Temple in Yokohama of Kanagawa Prefecture, which takes about 30 minutes from Shibuya by Toyoko Line.

My tatami room is small, so the capacity is 5 people. When more people want to participate my workshop, please let me know as soon as possible.

★★★★★We enjoyed our time making Japanese desserts, nerikiri. Yuki is an excellent teacher. She gave us a lot of encouragement. Yuki took us step by step through each design, making the process feel very simple. We are very happy with our finished desserts. We learned so much and look forward to taking another of her classes.
