Step into the heart of Japanese tradition at the Ocharu Tea Ceremony, right across from Tokyo University. This is more than just a tea ceremony—it's a vibrant journey through Japan’s rich tea culture.
Start with a refreshing cup of wakocha, a unique Japanese black tea from Shizuoka, paired with a delicious tea cake. This blend of fruity and floral notes sets the stage for the experience ahead.
Then, watch as a master brews Gyokuro sencha, the highest grade of green tea. Taste the tea leaves and seasonal wagashi sweets from “Ougiya,” a renowned confectioner that has been creating these treats for generations.
Next, you’ll whisk your own matcha under the guidance of a skilled tea master. Using traditional tools, you’ll make and enjoy matcha that connects you to centuries of Japanese tea culture.
Finish your experience with a soothing cup of Genmaicha, a blend of sencha and roasted rice from Niigata Prefecture, providing a comforting end to your tea journey.
Before you leave, get a certificate and a group photo to remember your dive into Japan’s tea culture.
