This is a program of about 1 hour and 20 minutes that even those who are new to the tea ceremony can enjoy with peace of mind.

After introducing the history and meaning of the tea ceremony in an easy-to-understand manner, you will be asked to take a look at the authentic tea ceremony (making matcha) by the instructor.

After that, you can enjoy 2 cups of matcha along with seasonal Japanese sweets while experiencing the manners of the tea ceremony.
