38-4 Fukakusa WatamorichÅ - Start your experience with sitting down and relaxing in the waiting room and an English-speaking instructor will explain how to attend a tea ceremony and some manners during the session.
And then we will go outside and walk through a tiny little garden, enter a Japanese style room when it is not raining.
After all seated on the tatami floor, the instructor will explain the history of tea, tea ceremony, and also the meaning of the hanging scroll on the back wall of the alcove.
Then, you will savor some traditional Japanese sweets while your instructor is demonstrating how to drink a bowl of Matcha.
Finally, you will meet the host and she will demonstrate the ceremonial preparation of Matcha, and you will enjoy drinking it.
Afterwards, the host will show you how to make one bowl of Matcha and you will have the opportunity to prepare it for yourself by using a bamboo tea whisk.
After all, you can serve Matcha to your friends or family when you go back home.

We look forward to seeing all of you soon!
