Our instruction "June" was fabulous and extremely helpful in helping us obtain a fine finished scarf. My wife and I both ended up with a beautifully dyed silk scarves. The museum is simply incredible and also worth viewing.
My daughter and I had a great time making ohigashi and nerikiri, although our nerikiri did not look as good as the examples. We also enjoyed the informal tea ceremony afterwards. Our instructor, Maiko, did a good job giving instructions in Japanese and English. The classrooms are tatami, so wear socks and slip on shoes.
Thank you for joining us and having a great time!
Not the clearest directions or English from the friendly adorable lady leading the class, but you figure it out and it was totally entertaining and fun. Well worth the $20 to learn how to make Japanese sweets and matcha and the rules for a proper tea ceremony. More of a fun class/experience than a formal tea ceremony which suited our group perfectly. Would definitely recommend if that’s what you’re looking for Thanks!
