We had the BEST time at Akito’s tea tour. Whether or not you enjoy drinking tea you will enjoy this tour!! The tea fields are so beautiful and picturesque, we got to pick tea leaves, tried many delicious teas, and Akito was so lovely and knowledgeable. He knew the answer to every question, and we asked a LOT of questions! Not only did we have so much fun but we learnt a lot. :) Highly recommend!

It was a very enjoyable experience! Although it’s in my neighborhood, I got to tour a noodle factory that I normally wouldn’t have a chance to see, and I made my own noodles by choosing the dough and the cutting blade I liked. It was a very interesting and valuable experience. After that, we moved to Akiko-san’s home, where we started by preparing the filling for the gyoza, wrapping them, and then cooking them with crispy wings, just like in a restaurant! The salad with fried baby sardines and mizuna was also exceptional. We then boiled our own ramen noodles, added various toppings, and enjoyed a luxurious bowl of rich, tonkotsu-style ramen! To finish, we made matcha shiratama cream anmitsu, which was a perfect course. There were no foreign participants this time, but this has inspired me to study English, and I hope to interact with international guests next time. Thank you for the wonderful time!
