Tea Ceremony : A Japanese Beauty
Details
Influenced by Zen Buddhism, "Sadō" , or tea ceremony, has been practiced in Japan for over 1000 years as cultural tradition. The ceremony's purpose extends from religious to recreational, but for this experience, you will get to participate in a traditional yet recreational lesson called "tencha". "Tencha" is the process of preparing "Matcha", a type of green tea that is bitter, and if prepared right, leaves a hint of sweetness.
The preparation begins from posture, the stirring of the tea, and even to facial expression! Pretty strict, yes, but master all this and you will be rewarded with great tasting tea and a experience as a true artist of tea preparation.

About the host
Nobumoto Y.
I know some people think SADO (the way of tea, tea ceremony) is too formal to approach. If you are the parson, why don't you take my SADO lesson. My SADO lesson is arranged in casual way for,
*Who wants to experience Japanese culture with a light heart
*Who wants to enjoy Japanese sweets and powdered green tea
*Who wants to learn Japanese good manners
I used to teach Japanese student in Osaka. When I moved to Tokyo on business, I decided I taught SADO for foreigners to know about the beautiful aspects of Japanese culture. I hope I can help you to make a impressive memory during stay in Japan!
