I had a remarkable dining experience at Najimia, enjoying dishes featured in Tofu Hyakuchin, a book from the Edo period that showcases over 100 tofu dishes. The highlight of the meal was the mineoka-dofu, an Edo-style panna cotta. This delicate dessert featured silken tofu with a velvety texture and a perfectly balanced sweetness, making it both comforting and refined. The meal was complemented by a delightful and interactive tatami coaster atelier. It was not only fun but also engaging as I learned the meticulous process of making these intricate coasters. It added a unique, hands-on touch to the experience. Afterwards, the tea master guided through the techniques for preparing the perfect matcha, from precise movements to proper etiquette. While the master spoke mainly Japanese with limited English, the assistant was fluent in English and provided translations throughout. By the end, I confidently prepared my own delicious matcha, leaving with a deep appreciation for Japanese tea culture.

Exceeded our expectations. Mijo was a wonderful host and being in a Japanese home made it that much more special. So fun and easy making the mochi and the tea ceremony was amazing. It was intimate and informative. After going through a traditional ceremony we then got to make our own matcha tea. Loved every minute.

From the tea to flower arrangement to calligraphy, each step was taken with such respect and care. The experience was one of the most wholesome experiences I have had in my travels. My friend and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys learning about history, culture and matcha!

Tea Ceremony in Japan

Dating back to the 8th century, tea was originally introduced to Japan from China. The tea ceremony in Japan is considered to be one of the three main traditional Japanese art forms, sitting proudly alongside calligraphy and ikebana flower arranging. The ritualistic side of the Japanese tea ceremony and the preparation of matcha green tea was introduced by Zen Buddhists in Kyoto. Today, the historical and ceremonial process of preparing matcha is known as "chado" or "the way of tea," and can be enjoyed at tea rooms throughout Japan from Tokyo to Osaka and beyond. Once a beverage enjoyed solely by bureaucrats and elite samurai, Japanese green tea and traditional practices of the Japanese tea ceremony in Japan is now an experience enjoyed by anyone. Typically held in a beautiful Japanese tea room, you can enjoy matcha with traditional wagashi sweets during a Japan tea ceremony where you can even learn how to make matcha yourself with guidance from a master. Relax and enjoy the refinement and tranquility of this unique cultural experience that is deeply rooted in Japan’s history.
