蛋奶素選擇 和菓子 茶道活動(7)

Very fun and informative!

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!

Excellent presentation

Great atmosphere, you can tell the knowledge and great enthusiasm of the cook. The tea ceremony was awsome, they explain the Why of all the steps that the tea ceremony specialist performs. Highly recommand!

Aya has a beautiful and authentic tea room and is a very knowledgeable and friendly host. She was very sweet and enjoyable to chat with and walked us through every detail of the traditional tea ceremony. It is very clear that she has been studying this art for a long time and enjoys sharing her knowledge with others who are interested. She also has a beautiful collection of handmade tea cups to browse through. She is fantastic and I would recommend her to anyone that is interested in learning how to do traditional Kyoto tea ceremonies!
