An absolute amazing experience ! A must do in Kyoto . The history is fascinating and the matcha tea is the best ever
Thank you so much for this amazing review! As someone who has dedicated many years to the traditional tea ceremony, hearing that you found the history fascinating and our matcha to be the 'best ever' is the ultimate compliment. Sharing the deep culture of Kyoto with wonderful guests like you is my true passion. Thank you for calling us a 'must-do', and I hope to welcome you back for another bowl of tea in the future!
A friend recommended me to come and see you! It was a tea room and tools beyond my imagination. The garden was also elaborate and it was a wonderful space! It was my first time, but it was a space where I could enjoy authentic Kyoto with easy-to-understand explanations and delicious tea being valuable matcha, and delicious sweets! It is a place that I would like to recommend not only to Japanese but also to foreigners.

It was a very sophisticated and special tea ceremony experience, a wonderful memory. I was also impressed by the deliciousness of the unique host's carefully selected matcha and sweets. I was especially impressed by the deliciousness of matcha, something I had never tasted before. I had a luxurious time. Thank you very much.

The tea ceremony experience in an authentic tea house, with a view of the lovely garden, was really special. The combination of top-quality matcha and beautiful traditional Japanese sweets was exquisite and hearty. They taught me how to participate in the experience, so I was able to participate with peace of mind for the first time. It was a wonderful experience to feel the depth of traditional Japanese culture.

**Kyoto Tea Ceremony Workshop - Unforgettable Cultural Experience** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This tea ceremony workshop was a really great experience! Thanks to the calm atmosphere and friendly and knowledgeable instructors, it was the best opportunity to experience the charm of the tea ceremony. It was very easy to understand, with every step carefully explained, from how to make matcha to the philosophy behind it. I visited as a foreigner, but I was warmly welcomed and fully immersed in Japanese tradition. The small group size allowed me to feel a personal response, and I was deeply moved and inspired when I left. It is definitely recommended for visitors to Kyoto!
このたびはご参加いただき、そして心のこもった素晴らしいレビューを誠にありがとうございます。 お茶の点て方だけでなく、その背後にある哲学や文化にまで関心を寄せていただき、心から嬉しく思います。私たちが大切にしている「静けさの中で本物に触れる時間」を感じ取っていただけたことに、深く感謝申し上げます。 少人数制だからこそできる丁寧なご案内を通して、日本の伝統文化を少しでも身近に感じていただけたのであれば何よりです。 また京都にお越しの際には、ぜひお立ち寄りくださいませ。再びお会いできる日を楽しみにしております。
It was an incredible experience. I was moved to learn the depth of Japanese culture from my husband's explanation which was very kind and polite. And best of all, the matcha was delicious!! It is a delicious matcha I have never drunk before, not to mention in Kyoto, tourist destinations in Japan, and overseas. The colors, fragrances, tastes, everything is special and perfect. Compared to myself, I thought tea master's matcha was better. Next time I will practice to make it even better! The tea room and the shop were very stylish and nice! Being in a very quiet environment with very few tourists, I was able to experience it calmly and concentrated. If I get another chance, I'd like to join!
このたびはご参加いただき、そして心温まる素敵なレビューを誠にありがとうございます。 抹茶や和菓子、そして茶室の空間にご満足いただけたこと、大変嬉しく拝見いたしました。静かな環境の中で、日本文化の奥深さに触れていただけたことは、私たちにとっても何よりの喜びです。 ご自身でも抹茶を点てていただき、良い体験になられて何よりです。次回はさらに美味しく点てられるよう、お手伝いできるのを楽しみにしております。 また近くにお越しの際は、ぜひお立ち寄りくださいませ。再びお会いできるのを心よりお待ちしております。
I was surprised to find a garden and a tea room in the stylish shop. The sweets and matcha were really good. In particular, matcha was the best I have ever had!
この度はご参加、誠にありがとうございました。 私たちのこだわりの茶道具、お菓子、お抹茶気に入っていただけたようで何よりです！ これからもたくさんの皆さんに本当に良いものを提供していきたいと思っておりますので、ぜひ応援よろしくお願いたします！
