• Tea Ceremony

  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.

Tucked away among charming shops and winding alleys, Sangenjyaya is a vibrant cultural hub that blends culinary delights with entertainment. With a history dating back to the Edo period, the area earned its name from the 'three tea houses' that once stood here, reflecting its deep historical roots.

As an Edo-Kaiseki chef, I offer immersive cooking classes and events in Paris, Brussels, New York, Hong Kong, and Japan. I also contribute recipes to various magazines and newspapers. Additionally, as a tea ceremony master, I add an extra layer of tradition and elegance to your experience.
