You can learn and have great experiences about Japanese tea ceremony in the special Tatami tea ceremony room at my private Japanese home. First, tea master will demonstrate how to do Japanese tea ceremony. Also you can see the “Charcoal procedure”. That is, we add charcoal to boil water. It’s really rare experience for you ,even for Japanese people. During the procedure, tea master will make Matcha (green tea) for you. You can learn how to be a guest with eating my Wagashi which I made (tea master prepare Wagashi & dried Japanese sweets for you). After you see the procedure, you can try to make Matcha by yourself. So you can drink 2 cups of Matcha. Tea master shows the history of Japanese tea ceremony for you and you can ask any questions about tea ceremony. It takes totally for about 1.5 hours for “Japanese tea ceremony” workshop. Please bring socks to enter the Japanese Tatami room for tea ceremony. This is just for your information.
