Pescetarian Wagashi Food Experiences(30)

The experience was wonderful! There were two of us and the visit with Akito was very pleasant and informative. Akito is a kind and sociable person. He told us his story while traveling by car to the farm and, once we arrived, he explained to us how the cultivation and harvesting of tea leaves works. The view of the ordered rows along the mountain slope is amazing! From here you can also enjoy the view of Shizuoka. We had the tea tasting directly inside the plantation. It was very interesting to learn about new flavors and listen to Akito's explanations on how the taste of tea varies with different water temperatures. In the factory Akito replicated the drying process with a miniature machine and we had another tasting combined with mochi that enhanced the tea flavor. Then we visited the production area where he explained to us how the traditional hand process is replicated with machinery. Before saying goodbye we purchased some tea they produced. We recommend this experience to all people who want to discover the art and knowledge behind a cup of sencha.

Amazing experience to learn the art of the tea ceremony with strong historical roots in Kyoto. This is a very traditional experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Aya answered all of our questions and was easy to talk to. We also left with beautiful photographs to be able to cherish the memories of the experience. Highly recommend!!!

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!

This tour was absolutely amazing! The view of Shizuoka from the tea farm was breathtaking, and it goes without saying that the tea farm itself was beautiful. Moreover, not only was Akito very accommodating, but also extremely knowledgeable on the tea; from the industry and production, to its culture and current trends. The things I learned from Akito has greatly enhanced my tea drinking experience. Also, highly recommend picking up some of the sencha and kukicha at the tea factory.
