Amazing experience to learn the art of the tea ceremony with strong historical roots in Kyoto. This is a very traditional experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Aya answered all of our questions and was easy to talk to. We also left with beautiful photographs to be able to cherish the memories of the experience. Highly recommend!!!

The nerikiri making class with Nariko is the most fun activity we have done in Japan. The entire family loved it, from my husband and I to our 11 and 14 year olds. The class consisted of 7 people. Nariko had the dough pre-prepared, so we got to do the fun part. She is polite, patient and I am so impressed by how well structured and clear her instructions are. Looking at the beautiful examples of nerikiri Nariko made, I really did not think I would be able to make mine look anything like that, but the way she taught us helped all of us in the class create nerikiri that, although a far cry from her perfect ones, looked quite pretty!
After finishing the nerikiri, Nariko taught us how to make matcha tea. Not all the formal, traditional steps, because we focussed our time on the nerikiri, but enough to get foaming matcha to drink while eating one of the nerikiri we made. It was lovely to chat with Nariko and the other students while eating dessert.
My daughter has already decided she is going to make nerikiri for her birthday party when we get back home! We will be looking out for Nariko’s classes again the next time we are in Japan. Nariko, you are amazing. Thank you for a wonderful time!
