We had a great experience with our host Kaori. We enjoyed learning about the tea ceremony tradition as well as being instructed on how to make our own matcha tea. This was a fun experience!

Our host, Kaori, was very nice and friendly. She patiently explained the steps for all the participants when it was their turn and answered any questions we had. It was very cool that apart from the actual tea ceremony experience, she also introduced us to some of the history behind tea ceremonies. My partner and I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone looking to experience a tea ceremony in a traditional building in Kyoto.

We had the best time, our tea ceremony instructor was very kind and explained the tea ceremony in detail and allowed us to do our own mancha. Our kids had a great time.

The tea ceremony was a delightful experience. Our hostess was incredibly knowledgeable about the art of tea preparation, and she guided us in making our own matcha using the techniques she taught. We were so inspired that we purchased a matcha whisk and matcha powder afterward to continue practicing at home.

Kaori provided a lovely and thorough demonstration of a traditional tea ceremony, answered all of our questions, and guided us through the process on our own. The google map link provided on booking was helpful for navigation. When we got to the location, within 5 mins ahead of our reservation time as requested in the confirmation no one was at the front and there was a sign on the door instructing to meet across the alley. When we went there we were instructed to go back, so that was a little confusing but all in all, a good experience.

Discover Vegan Higashi Delights in a Traditional Tea Ceremony

Experience the harmonious blend of tradition and modernity with our Vegan Higashi Tea Ceremony options. In this unique gastronomic journey, you are invited to savor the delicate flavors of Higashi—traditional Japanese sweets—crafted entirely from plant-based ingredients. Immerse yourself in the serene ritual of the tea ceremony, a time-honored practice that celebrates mindfulness and tranquility. Our curated selection of vegan Higashi ensures that everyone, regardless of dietary preference, can partake in this quintessential Japanese experience.

Explore the Art of Vegan Higashi

Higashi, known for its colorful and intricate designs, typically consists of sugar and rice flour, making it naturally conducive to vegan adaptations. Traditionally, these sweets play a subtle role, complementing the bitterness of matcha tea served during tea ceremonies. As you explore our offerings, you will find a delightful array of shapes and flavors, from delicate sakura flowers to autumnal maple leaves, all created with mindful attention to vegan principles. By focusing on natural ingredients, our vegan Higashi not only aligns with plant-based diets but also preserves the authentic taste that these confectioneries are famous for.

Embrace Tradition with a Modern Twist

The Tea Ceremony, or "sado", offers more than just a taste of history; it is a cultural ritual that embodies peace and respect. Vegan adaptations of this ceremony highlight inclusivity, ensuring that the richness of Japanese culture is experienced by all. Participants can anticipate a session filled with grace and hospitality, where every element—from the hand-crafted tea bowls to the serene ambiance of the tea room—is carefully orchestrated. These ceremonies offer a unique opportunity to unwind while experiencing a centuries-old practice that continues to enchant visitors. Discover how the perfect pairing of matcha and vegan Higashi can transform a simple moment into a memorable occasion.

Join us in this celebration of Japanese culture through a modern lens. Each ceremony is a gateway into the world of mindful eating and cultural appreciation, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience that bridges the past with the present, all while honoring a vegan lifestyle.
