Not only the tea ceremony activity itself, but also the room setting is authentic. This is a rare find in Tokyo. The tearoom applied the traditional construction methods and is made of wooden materials that are specifically designed for this particular room. You will have an opportunity to discover this authenticity while learning the tea ceremony in a calm atmosphere. The activity includes: 1. The presentation of the history of tea ceremony 2. The presentation and demonstration of the tea-making procedure called "temae" 3. The instruction of how to drink matcha green tea (both thin tea and thick tea) and how to have a close look at the utensils of tea ceremony. *Thick tea "koicha" is served usually only at a formal tea ceremony, therefore you will have a precious experience. 4.
