Casual matcha experience at a historic teahouse in Takayama

At a long-established tea shop in Hida Takayama, this relaxed session provides an approachable way to enjoy matcha. Spread over one hour, staff will introduce essential tools like the bamboo whisk (Chasen) and tea caddy (Natsume) before demonstrating the matcha preparation process. Then it's your turn to whisk and taste your own matcha.

You can choose to sit on tatami or at tables and chairs. Seasonal Japanese sweets are served alongside your matcha, along with a small souvenir. This session appeals to those interested in a casual introduction to Japanese culture and matcha preparation, making it suitable for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
