Halal Tea Ceremony

Absolutely amazing. The entire experience was educational, fun and delicious. Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful home and making our day special. We will remember you and the experience for many years to come

It was a great experience. The matcha was of very good quality and the two women wo made the matcha and thought us how to do it were super kind and we had much fun talking to them. One of them was also very good at talking in english, so we would recommend this for foreigners also. We also felt very safe while learning the traditions of drinking tea - the hostes thought us with patience and calm. We would absolutely do it again because the hostes and atmosphere (and of course the matcha) were so great.

I’m visiting from the United States, and this was one of the most meaningful experiences of my trip. The hosts were incredibly warm, patient, and knowledgeable, and they made me feel truly welcome from the moment I arrived. They gently guided me through each step of the tea ceremony and shared the beautiful history and cultural meaning behind the tradition. I was especially touched by the care and intention behind every movement. It helped me appreciate how the tea ceremony is not just about drinking tea, but about mindfulness, respect, and connection. The hosts were also so kind to help me take photos so I could remember such a special moment. One of the hosts also provided me with a gift at the end for Goodluck, which I am very appreciative for. If you are visiting Fukuoka, I highly recommend taking part in this experience. It was peaceful, beautiful, and gave me a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture that I will carry with me long after my trip. <3

I was very happy that I chose the tea ceremony with Chihiro. She was very authentic and kind as a person, and everything went smoothly. It was a wonderful encounter with Japanese tradition as it is truly lived – not presented in an artificial or distant way, but in a very human, warm, and approachable manner, while still carrying a deep spiritual touch.

Our cooking class and tea ceremony with chef Katuzi was amazing. He was very professional and entertaining. We learnt some great skills in sushi making and made great ramen. All Ingredients were fresh Chef”s assistant Kumiko was very friendly and helpful. She took photos throughout the class and then sent them to us before we left. The calligraphy gift was a special touch. The cooking class was one of the highlights of our Japan trip. We would strongly recommend. Angela & Chris (Melbourne, Australia)

We were picked up at the statue from our host and had a nice chat with her until reaching the premises (5 min by foot) where the experience took place. Our host kindly explained the structure of the experience and also gave us a brief history and explanation of the craft and why she has an interest in tea ceremonies. The matcha and the sweets were really good and we had a fun and interesting experience. Arigatou gozaimasu!

Mari-san talked us through the traditional method of a tea ceremony, including how they decorate the room and the symbolism of objects. She was dressed in the traditional kimono and we sat on cushions round a low table. She whisked the matcha and presented us with the tea. Then we did the same. She gave us two kinds of traditional sweets. The building is in central Beppu, easily reached on foot. The environment is not grand, it is above a cafe/shop and has the feeling of a home. The interpreter Nao -san spoke excellent English and was very pleasant. The experience took about an hour.

We had the best time at this tea ceremony. Learned all about the tradition of Matcha tea ceremony. Our host was lovely so was our translator.we were taught how to make matcha tea . Also enjoyed the lovey sweets.We had lots of laughs and story telling as well. Highly recommend

A wonderful tea ceremony with Chihiro and her husband in Fukuoka 🍵 We came as a couple and had an unforgettable experience with Chihiro and her husband, who warmly welcomed us and guided us through the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Chihiro explained everything very clearly in English, making it easy to understand and follow each gesture. Both of them were kind, patient, and attentive, creating a calm and authentic atmosphere. It was a beautiful, peaceful, and meaningful introduction to Japanese culture. Thank you so much, Chihiro and your husband, for this memorable and heartfelt experience. 🙏🍵 福岡での素晴らしい茶道体験 🍵 私たちはカップルで参加し、ちひろさんご夫妻のおかげで忘れられない時間を過ごしました。お二人はとても温かく迎えてくださり、伝統的な茶道の作法を丁寧に教えてくれました。ちひろさんは英語でとても分かりやすく説明してくれたので、安心して楽しむことができました。 穏やかで本格的な雰囲気の中で、日本文化の美しさと心を感じました。優しさと細やかな心配りに心から感謝します。🙏🍵

It was a very welcoming and great experience in modern, and yet with Japanese style home of the shef. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the host, as well as enjoyed learning how to prepare sushi, ramen and the traditional tea ceremony. He took in the consideration our taste and food preferences. It was a wonderful experience!
