O local é pequeno e intimista. Fomos num grupo de 4 pessoas, duas amigas, minha esposa e eu. Chegamos mais cedo. A moça que nos atendeu foi extremamente gentil. Explicou os mecanismos de comportamento, e nos vestiu com os quimonos. Todo o cerimonial foi devidamente explanado. O inglês dela é muito bom. Teve pausa para perguntas depois da primeira fase. Também nos permitiu fotografar a vontade. O que fizemos no começo, intervalos e fim. Os doces são ótimos e em porção generosa. O matcha que ingerimos primeiro era o suave (sugerido por ela, para iniciantes) e depois um mais "amargo". Pudemos repetir o cerimonial sob a orientação dela e assistimos a preparação primorosa da apresentadora. Enfim, foi bonito, tranquilo, cultural e inspirador. Adoramos.

The first cup of tea made by the tea master was really enjoyable. The atmosphere and setting was also really calming and pleasing. They also sell ceremonial grade matcha at really good prices.
