When you arrive the house, our English-speaking host will welcome you and guide you to the kitchen. You will learn how to make one kind of Wagashi (Japanese Sweets) there. It is a hands-on class and not just a demonstration.

After the class, it's time to join tea ceremony.
First, the host will explain how to attend tea ceremony and some manners in the Japanese room during the session.

Next, we will go outside and walk through a tiny little garden and enter an authentic Japanese style room when it is not raining.
After we 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 savour Japanese sweets that you have just made, 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.

All of our instructors are licensed guide interpreters, so all the participants will be able to clearly understand all the information covered in the class.

After joining this experience, you will be able to not only prepare Wagashi but also serve Matcha in the right way to your friends or family.
I'm sure that will be a great souvenir from Japan.
