I hesitated at first because of the price but I can say that it is totally worth it! I was alone so I got a private workshop.
Yuko has excellent English and her explanations were simple and interesting. she was patient, professional and kind. and I learned a lot about Japanese sweets and through them about Japanese culture. In addition, I experienced making delicious matcha. Highly recommend!

Nerikiri and Mochi Wagashi Making Class in Bunkyo, Tokyo

Aya was a wonderful instructor and patiently explained the history and significance of the tea ceremony in Japanese culture. After first illustrating the process Aya then gave us my wife and I the opportunity to prepare tea for each other which was a great experience.
After the ceremony was concluded we noticed a wall full of tea bowls which Aya allowed us to purchase from and it was comforting to know we could go home with a high quality souvenir from local craftsmen.
