Private Bar time with an authentic Maiko

While Maikos are a symbol of Kyoto, it is not easy for tourists and even locals to talk with them personally.

Online Japanese tea meditation

This experience will be an online lesson.

It's called "bondemae",this is an abbreviated tea ceremony that does not use authentic tea ceremony utensils such as a tea kettle and ladle, but uses a teapot and tray. 3 Let's try making matcha by yourself. We use teabowl, tea whisk, matcha powder but if you don't have these utensils please prepare these utensils. Please use your favolite bowl. Without tea whisk, you can make tea with milk former, small whisk. If you cannot get matcha powder, please use cocoa powder. In my workshop, the most important things are enjoying making tea and understanding that the Japanese tea ceremony is an active meditation. And you can enjoy the tea meditation with your own utensils anytime you want.
