japanese tea ceremony,
Isn't it difficult?

Tea ceremony, a culture that is unfamiliar to us, may seem difficult. But, you don't have to find it difficult. When you visit the tea room, a friendly tea master will explain everything in detail for you.

Tea ceremony is a culture in Japan where tea is carefully prepared and served to guests. Tea ceremony etiquette consists of how the host brews and serves good tea in an elegant teacup and the attitude of the guest who drinks it. The principle is to pay detailed attention to the simple kaiseki dishes served with tea and the preparation of tea utensils, but the most important thing is the attitude of treating guests with sincerity. Experience the tea ceremony and learn a new mindset!

Matcha made with my own hands

Do you know the difference between matcha and green tea? There are many differences, including cultivation methods and nutrition, but the biggest difference is the ‘shape of the tea.’ Green tea is loose-leaf tea made from green tea leaves, and matcha is powdered tea. Unlike green tea, which is drunk by steeping it in hot water, it is made by dissolving the powder directly into water.

Matcha is the central tea of Japanese tea ceremony. Take a teaspoon of matcha powder, mix it with hot water, stir it with a tea spoon until it foams, and drink it. This foam is called emulsification, and since it is emulsification that determines the taste of matcha, you can adjust the amount of emulsification to suit your taste. First, learn how to make matcha from the teacher, then try making your own matcha!

Perfect match with matcha, Japanese sweets

This Japanese confectionery is a fantastic combination when paired with matcha. Wagashi refers to traditional Japanese snacks, like Korean sweets. As it is characterized by its extravagantly decorated appearance, there is even a saying, ‘Enjoy the first taste with your eyes, and the last taste with your tongue.’ Because it has a strong sweet taste, it is usually served with matcha.

If you take a bite of sweet Japanese confectionery and take a sip of bitter matcha, you can feel the harmony of the two. Lastly, you can politely end your tea time by drinking the matcha and making the 'ssut' sound.

Have fun even after the experience is over!

So far, we have learned about the tea ceremony experience. For those of you who feel disappointed after the experience, I will introduce what else you can do here. Sakai Rishonomori is full of the charm of the Sakai region. If you watch 'Time Trip Sakai', where you can view the three-dimensional reproduction of the medieval Sakai streetscape from any angle, you'll feel like you're traveling through time. There is a pamphlet in Korean available, so you don’t have to worry.
