Perfect for both food and Japanese history fans, as well as tea enthusiasts - This was such a unique opportunity to learn from an expert. I was able to try 9 different teas and learn about the differences between them. The host is incredibly knowledgeable and was more than happy to answer my questions. For anyone who enjoys tea or who can appreciate tasting experiences like those for wine or when attending cupping sessions for coffee, you will enjoy this. 2 notes- first, there is opportunity to purchase some of the teas from the hosts company at the end but what was good is there was no pressure, and there was full transparency of a price list (and can pay card). I mention this not as a negative but because I always prefer a heads up as I get nervous sometimes with tours that they are going to try a hard sales pitch. Second point, this is in what appears to be a residential apartment block. The address listed on the Viator page that was copied and pasted direct into Uber sent me to the wrong place and I needed to walk 15 minutes to try and find the actual location using the integrated map in the app which took me to the actual address. Since it is not a public location, maybe need to screenshot map view if using map or transport service external to Viator app. Lucky as I was only attendee I didn’t miss anything and we just started when I got there.

If You're Curious About Japanese Teas, This is the Class for You! - The "class" was truly excellent! Yosuke did a superb job of explaining the different teas we sampled. He was extremely through and knowledgeable. He had a 9 page handout for us to follow as we sampled each tea, which came in handy. Nothing was rushed. And, were encouraged to take our time to tasting and ask to questions. I would HIGHLY recommend this class.

Perfect way to spend an afternoon - What an incredible experience! An excellent host who is very knowledgeable about the Japanese tea industry. While tasting a variety of delicious teas, we learned about how Japanese tea is farmed and produced. We had a very curious group and all of our questions were answered with enthusiasm and in great detail. For someone who hasn't explored too many green teas before this, it was the perfect way to discover what I like and learn along the way.
