We had a fantastic time at our tasting thanks to Hayato, the man who led our experience!! He was very knowledgeable and generous with his time, including sharing recommendations for bars and things to do during the rest of our stay. We had a lot of fun learning about the history of Japanese whiskey and experiencing the nuances in taste among the different makers and bottles. Would highly recommend!!!

Japanese Tea Tasting, Matcha-Making & Matcha Sweets in Tokyo
Drinking Tours
We absolutely loved this experience. All three of us (my friend and daughter (adult-age) loved everything about it, the setting, the making of the sweets and tea, the sharing of information/history—most of all, we were so touched by the kind attention given to us by our wonderful teachers: Emiko, Junko, and Ayaka. We felt that they put so much effort preparing and during the session to ensure that we had this lovely time. We would highly recommend it!

Explore the Rich Tradition of Japanese Tea Drinking

Embark on a unique journey with our Japanese tea drinking tours, where the art of tea comes to life. A land rich in cultural heritage, Japan offers a profound experience for tea enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. These tours are designed to immerse you in the history, techniques, and flavors of Japanese tea, ranging from the subtlety of sencha to the robust, earthy tones of matcha. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned tea connoisseur, our tours provide a deep dive into the world of Japanese tea.

Experience Authentic Japanese Tea Ceremonies

One of the highlights of the Japanese tea drinking tours is participating in authentic tea ceremonies. Rooted in centuries of tradition, the Japanese tea ceremony, also known as 'chanoyu', is a cultural activity centered around the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha, a powdered green tea. This ceremony is not just about drinking tea, but an entire art form dedicated to refinement and mindfulness. Our tours offer guests the opportunity to witness and partake in these beautiful rituals, often held in serene, traditional tea rooms that reflect the aesthetic simplicity and beauty of Japanese architecture.

Visit Historical Tea Gardens and Plantation

The tours often include visits to historical tea gardens and plantations that produce some of the finest teas in the world. In these tranquil settings, you’ll learn about the cultivation and harvesting processes that are essential to producing high-quality Japanese tea. Experienced guides will walk you through the lush tea fields, explaining how the terrain and climate contribute to the unique flavors of Japanese tea. This immersive experience offers visitors a firsthand look at the rural side of Japan and an appreciation for the dedication involved in tea farming.

Our Japanese tea drinking tours are perfect for those looking to blend cultural exploration with culinary delight. Each tour is a sensory journey through Japan's storied tea traditions that not only satisfies your taste buds but also enriches your understanding of this timeless beverage. Join us and sip your way through Japan’s captivating tea history.
