Such a fun amazing experience! Komei, the tea master and host, is an extremely knowledgable and personable human being. You could really sense his passion for the tea ceremony in every aspect of the workshop. He also made the experience feel very personal and special.
As a matcha lover, I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the history of matcha ceremonies in Japan. The matcha was also delicious!
The workshop was well paced and informative. Learning about the cultural significance and the meticulous care taken in every aspect of the ceremony enriched the experience tremendously.
The Matcha and Kimono Experience in Tokyo is something I highly recommend. It’s suitable for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Japanese culture or just wanting to try something new and enjoyable. A must do in Tokyo!

I definitely recommend it. We heard the captivating story of the origins of the matcha ceremony in Japan. Then we prepared it ourselves. The great time was complemented by listening to the entire lecture in kimonos. A very interesting experience.

It was very warm atmosphere during whole workshop. We have known a bit about tea and kimono history. Had chance to wear casual kimono and learned how to do it properly.
Now I know what the difference between green tea and nachts and how to brew matcha appropriately, and also how to choose good matcha.
It was really useful and interesting workshop!

Anyone visiting Japan will enjoy this experience. The host is perfect in English and an expert at his craft. He explains everything perfectly and is very attentive while you make your own matcha tea. I learned a lot about tea and kimonos but it was also a brief lesson in Japan's history. All of my questions were answered perfectly and I walked away fulfilled. Absolutely recommend.
