It was my first time making this kind of sweet. It was a bit complicated, especially the latter parts. However, Nariko-san gave us very detailed demos and informative notes for each step which helped us create and finish each Nerikiri. I recommend trying this experience out!

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.

I attended the private tea ceremony hosted by Aya with three friends. The experience was lovely, she was a delight to hear the culture of tea ceremonies from as well as patient about teaching us the ceremonial procedures. It was also great to hear her personal stories about Japan and the intricacies of tea and tea ceremonies. She was also very accommodating when one of my friends was unable to sit on the tatami mats by offering to get a chair for her. The atmosphere to her home was lovely, and the tearoom itself. She also took many pictures which we did not expect but are very grateful for. Overall a fabulous tea ceremony experience, and we couldn’t have imagined a better taste (both literally and figuratively) of Japanese culture!
