Kyoto Wagashi Food Experiences(13)

Such a lovely and authentic experience. Aya is very knowledgeable and welcoming. Would recommend going in the morning as you get two cups of matcha.

Superb experience, Yasue had prepared everything in advance, she gave us clear instructions and helped make this class fun and interactive - my children loved it and it was a very unique experience, I highly recommend it!

We loved the intimate atmosphere. It was fascinating learning about education the tea master had been through. He made it interactive by having us try to whisk the Macha. We would highly recommend this experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Yo be so graciously hosted by both husband and wife in their home for the tea ceremony made it extra-special! Our hostess was happy to also happy to answer our questions following this peaceful and ancient ritual.

Those who are interested in learning about planting, growing, harvesting, and brewing all-things green tea, including matcha tea, this tour would be a very informative and enjoyable. Definitely, more substantive than the touristy ritual tea ceremony. The staff worked hard to present lots of information. The big downside is that you have to get to the bus stop by the tea plantation and it’s not a straight forward ride. It would be good if there is a tour which meets in Kyoto center and escort you to the tea plantation for those who don’t want to deal with hassle of either driving or navigate through the public transit system. All in all a different day trip experience.
