    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!

    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!

    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!

I was especially impressed by the deliciousness of matcha, something I had never tasted before. I had a luxurious time. Thank you very much.
