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 the World of Vegetarian Higashi

Dive into the delicate world of Higashi, a traditional Japanese sweet that pairs beautifully with tea, reimagined for those following a vegetarian lifestyle. Higashi is known for its beautiful presentation, refined taste, and compatibility with the serene art of tea ceremonies. Crafted primarily from rice flour and sugar, these dry confections are often shaped into charming, intricate designs depicting nature or seasonal motifs. On this culinary journey, you'll find vegetarian-friendly Higashi experiences that retain the authentic taste and aesthetic, using plant-based ingredients to ensure that everyone can enjoy this delightful treat.

Benefits of Choosing Vegetarian Higashi

The elegance of Higashi lies in its simplicity and the way it complements the nuances of tea without overpowering the palate. By choosing vegetarian Higashi, you not only engage in a mindful eating practice but also support sustainable and ethical cuisine. Vegetarian Higashi experiences focus on using locally-sourced, organic ingredients, reducing the carbon footprint, and embracing harmony with nature. Whether you are new to Japanese confectionery or a seasoned enthusiast, these experiences offer a seamless blend of tradition and innovation, providing a guilt-free indulgence that aligns with your dietary preferences.

Unique Experiences Await You

Embark on a journey through a variety of experiences that showcase the versatility of vegetarian Higashi. Participate in workshops where you can create your own designs under the guidance of skilled artisans, allowing you to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship involved. Or join tasting sessions that pair these exquisite sweets with different types of teas, enhancing your understanding of how different flavors can complement or contrast with one another. Some experiences may even offer you an inside look at the production processes, teaching you about the history and cultural significance of Higashi in Japanese society. These activities are not only educational but also offer the perfect opportunity to take home a piece of Japan with you, either by purchasing beautifully packaged Higashi sets or creating your own unique versions.
