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.

I attended the private tea ceremony hosted by Aya with three friends. The experience was lovely, she was a delight to hear the culture of tea ceremonies from as well as patient about teaching us the ceremonial procedures. It was also great to hear her personal stories about Japan and the intricacies of tea and tea ceremonies. She was also very accommodating when one of my friends was unable to sit on the tatami mats by offering to get a chair for her. The atmosphere to her home was lovely, and the tearoom itself. She also took many pictures which we did not expect but are very grateful for. Overall a fabulous tea ceremony experience, and we couldn’t have imagined a better taste (both literally and figuratively) of Japanese culture!

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.
