I had a lot of fun experiencing tea ceremony and playing the Japanese instrument. The place was very cozy, and Noriko, our host, created a very relaxing atmosphere. I also had a chance to wear a Japanese traditional kimono as an optional service. We took lots of photos to capture wonderful memories! Thanks Noriko for such a wonderful moment!

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.

Noriko is a wonderful, great, friendly and funny lady. She has a lot of knowledge about Japanese history and loves to share that. She’s an excellent kimono-sensei (teacher), has a great selection of very precious kimonos, also in big sizes. She’s a wonderful matcha teacher; serves delicious green tea with traditional Japanese sweet, while she explains the history of tea ceremonies.

The kimono dressing and Japanese tea ceremony was a wonderful, immersive experience. Being dressed in a traditional kimono was a unique way to connect with Japanese culture, and the tea ceremony that followed was just as fascinating. The host’s enthusiasm brought each step to life, and I learned so much about the traditions. A truly special experience I’d recommend to anyone wanting to explore Japanese culture in a beautiful, meaningful way.

Kaori provided a lovely and thorough demonstration of a traditional tea ceremony, answered all of our questions, and guided us through the process on our own. The google map link provided on booking was helpful for navigation. When we got to the location, within 5 mins ahead of our reservation time as requested in the confirmation no one was at the front and there was a sign on the door instructing to meet across the alley. When we went there we were instructed to go back, so that was a little confusing but all in all, a good experience.

Explore the World of Vegetarian Higashi Tea Ceremonies

Immerse yourself in the serene and sophisticated world of Japanese tea ceremonies with a vegetarian-friendly twist. Our selection of food experiences offers a unique opportunity to savor the delicate flavors of traditional Japanese confectionery, known as Higashi, alongside expertly prepared tea. These exquisite events are perfect for those who follow a vegetarian lifestyle and appreciate the art of tea-making.

Higashi, a dry and sweet Japanese confectionery, is an essential part of the tea ceremony experience. These sweets are crafted with precision and often feature beautiful designs that reflect the season. Unlike other traditional sweets, Higashi is made from plant-based ingredients such as sugar and rice flour, making it naturally vegetarian.

The tea ceremonies in which these delightful sweets are served offer a glimpse into the meticulous preparation and presentation of authentic Japanese tea. The process is both meditative and artful, steeped in tradition and cultural significance. Every aspect, from the type of tea used to the way it is served, contributes to an atmosphere of tranquility and mindfulness.

Why Choose a Vegetarian Tea Ceremony with Higashi?

Choosing a vegetarian tea ceremony experience allows you to indulge in the delicate flavors of Higashi without compromising your dietary preferences. Vegetarians will appreciate the variety of Higashi available, each with distinct textures and flavors. These sweets are often paired with matcha or other types of Japanese tea, creating a harmonious blend of taste and aroma.

The tea ceremony itself is a celebration of simplicity and elegance, providing an opportunity to relax and enjoy a moment of calm away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether you are a tea enthusiast or a novice, these experiences offer valuable insights into Japanese culture and the importance of balance and presentation in their culinary arts.

The vegetarian aspect of these ceremonies ensures that everyone can take part without any dietary concerns. It opens up the world of Japanese tea ceremonies to a wider audience, fostering a deeper appreciation for this ancient tradition.
