Step away from the bustle of Takeshita Street and experience Japanese tea ceremony at Chikusuian in Harajuku, Tokyo.
During this approximately 60-minute session, watch an instructor demonstrate traditional tea preparation, then try whisking matcha yourself. Learn basic tea etiquette and discover the care behind the utensils and movements. Enjoy two servings of matcha with Japanese sweets.
No previous experience is needed. The session is conducted in Japanese, with English support through machine translation. An English-speaking interpreter is not available.
Kneeling is not required. Seiza support stools and chair seating at a tea ceremony table are available.
For bookings made the day before or on the day, an alternative sweet replaces the omogashi (a soft Japanese confection).
Make time during your Harajuku visit to discover Japanese culture through watching, practising, and tasting.
