Step into the heart of Japanese tradition at the Ocharu Tea Ceremony, right across from Tokyo University. This is more than just a tea ceremony—it's a vibrant journey through Japan’s rich tea culture.

Start with a refreshing cup of wakocha, a unique Japanese black tea from Shizuoka, paired with a delicious tea cake. This blend of fruity and floral notes sets the stage for the experience ahead.

Then, watch as a master brews Gyokuro sencha, the highest grade of green tea. Taste the tea leaves and savor seasonal wagashi sweets from “Ougiya,” a renowned confectioner that has been creating these treats for generations.

Next, you’ll whisk your own matcha under the guidance of a skilled tea master. Using traditional tools, you’ll make and enjoy matcha that connects you to centuries of Japanese tea culture.
Finish your experience with a soothing cup of Genmaicha, a blend of sencha and roasted rice from Niigata Prefecture, providing a comforting end to your tea journey.
Before you leave, get a certificate and a group photo to remember your dive into Japan’s tea culture.

In just 60 minutes, you’ll explore the art, flavors, and traditions of Japanese tea. Book now and immerse yourself in this unique cultural adventure!
