Noriko is a wonderful, great, friendly and funny lady. She has a lot of knowledge about Japanese history and loves to share that. She’s an excellent kimono-sensei (teacher), has a great selection of very precious kimonos, also in big sizes. She’s a wonderful matcha teacher; serves delicious green tea with traditional Japanese sweet, while she explains the history of tea ceremonies.

The kimono dressing and Japanese tea ceremony was a wonderful, immersive experience. Being dressed in a traditional kimono was a unique way to connect with Japanese culture, and the tea ceremony that followed was just as fascinating. The host’s enthusiasm brought each step to life, and I learned so much about the traditions. A truly special experience I’d recommend to anyone wanting to explore Japanese culture in a beautiful, meaningful way.

I attended the private tea ceremony hosted by Aya with three friends. The experience was lovely, she was a delight to hear the culture of tea ceremonies from as well as patient about teaching us the ceremonial procedures. It was also great to hear her personal stories about Japan and the intricacies of tea and tea ceremonies. She was also very accommodating when one of my friends was unable to sit on the tatami mats by offering to get a chair for her. The atmosphere to her home was lovely, and the tearoom itself. She also took many pictures which we did not expect but are very grateful for. Overall a fabulous tea ceremony experience, and we couldn’t have imagined a better taste (both literally and figuratively) of Japanese culture!

Each venue ensures that the ambiance complements the respectfulness and mindfulness of the ceremony. When selecting a gluten-free tea ceremony to participate in, consider the different aspects, such as the duration of the ceremony, the type of tea and sweets offered, and any additional cultural activities, like ikebana (flower arrangement) or calligraphy, that could accompany your experience. These elements combine to offer a well-rounded understanding and appreciation of Japanese culture, all while adhering to a gluten-free diet.

Partaking in a gluten-free tea ceremony is an enriching experience that melds ancient customs with modern dietary needs, presenting a wonderful opportunity to learn and appreciate Japanese traditions.
