Kyoto 채식주의자 일본 차 미식 프로그램

Marie was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tea and the fermented food tastings were excellent. She was a pleasure and we had a wonderful time.

Yoshiko was a great guide. We did so much in the short time we had together. She was so nice and eager to share the history of Uji and matcha with us.

From the moment we stepped into the private tea tasting, it felt like entering a completely different world—one defined by calm, care, and an almost reverent appreciation for tea. What truly elevated the entire experience, however, was our teacher. Their depth of knowledge was nothing short of astonishing. Every detail—from the origin of the leaves to the subtle differences in processing methods—was explained with such clarity and passion that it transformed each sip into a story. You could tell this wasn’t just expertise; it was a genuine love for the craft. The tea itself was absolutely exquisite. Each variety we sampled was more nuanced and flavorful than the last, with layers of aroma and taste I had never noticed before. The experience was paired with a thoughtfully prepared selection of food that complemented the teas beautifully. Every bite felt intentional, enhancing the tasting experience and making the whole session feel indulgent without being overwhelming. What surprised me most was just how fun it all was. This wasn’t a stiff or overly formal class—it was engaging, interactive, and filled with moments of delight and discovery. We laughed, asked questions, compared favorites, and left feeling not only more knowledgeable but genuinely inspired. All in all, this private tea tasting was an unforgettable experience and such a unique, enjoyable way to explore the world of tea. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone—even those who think they already know tea.

Fabulous class! We learned a lot about Japanese cooking and enjoyed terrific food. The teacher clearly went to great lengths to make it a memorable experience. The fish was of the highest quality. Thank you for making this a highlight of an already wonderful trip!

We had a wonderful time, thank you!

It was great

Wonderful class with fantastic instruction. Highly recommend.

Super fun and informative! A bit of a challenge to locate but aside from that it was great!

We had a great time making sushi and learning about Japanese cuisine.

Wonderful experience using great quality ingredients. The chef explains things very well and makes it fun in a very cosy setting! We would highly recommend to anyone considering it.

The chef was amazing and so knowledgable on Japanese cooking and tradition! My husband and I have been making sushi in the US for 15 years and learned so much in this class. Thank you!

My husband and I so enjoyed this sushi making session with Kaori. It was very interesting, informative and fun! Kaori was organized, spoke English well, communicated effectively and patiently explained each step of the process. She provided an excellent handout for us to read and use later. This is a very special, must-do experience in Kyoto! Highly recommend.
