Would you like to experience matcha at Ochadokoro Sanwa? Our matcha experience is not a tea ceremony, but is based on the concept of "enjoying matcha deliciously" that is unique to a tea shop. This experience is aimed at those who have never tried matcha before, those with small children, and those participating alone, and is aimed at those who can casually try matcha. ~Experience flow~① We will explain the tea utensils set on the tray. ② Pour hot water from the kettle and sift the matcha using a sieve while the tea bowl is warming. ③ Put the matcha into the tea bowl. ④ We will explain how to hold the tea whisk, and you will actually make matcha with the staff. ⑤ We will bring you our proud matcha fresh cream daifuku, so you can eat it with matcha. When you leave, you will take home a small souvenir such as a sweet made with matcha.
