Tokyo Asakusa: Tea Ceremony with Kimono & Two-Bowl Matcha★ 4.99 (223) · 1h 30m
Tokyo: Tea Ceremony Workshop with Sakura Tea & Matcha TastingYou’ll step into an old Tokyo house for a real chado workshop—sipping sakura tea, tasting strong koicha matcha, and trying your hand at making usucha under Mika’s gentle guidance. Expect moments of quiet focus, laughter over wobbly foam, and flavors you probably haven’t met before. There’s an odd comfort in sharing sweets with strangers on tatami mats—you might leave thinking about silence differently.
Tokyo: Matcha Tea Ceremony & Kimono Dressing with TastingYou arrive in a kimono, learn to distinguish matcha grades by taste and science, whisk your own bowl using proper tea ceremony form, and eat traditional sweets while sitting on tatami. Everything — the robe, the tools, the seven matcha samples, and the snacks — is included, so you walk in and the experience takes it from there.Is it for me?Book this if you want to actually participate in a tea ceremony rather than observe one, and you'd rather learn matcha quality in a tasting than read about it online — the small-group format and the cellar access are what make the tasting real.
