Tokyo: Tea Ceremony Experience with Seasonal Wagashi Sweets

The Tokyo Tea Ceremony Experience with Seasonal Wagashi Sweets is a structured cultural session in Tokyo covering the traditional Japanese art of chado, the way of tea. Rooted in principles formalised during the Muromachi period, the ceremony follows a precise sequence of preparation, presentation, and consumption of matcha, conducted with prescribed utensils including a chakin cloth, chasen whisk, and chawan bowl.

Participants prepare and drink matcha under guided instruction, learning the etiquette and significance behind each movement. The session includes seasonal wagashi, traditional confections served before the tea to balance its bitterness. Wagashi vary by season, reflecting ingredients and motifs tied to the time of year. Tickets cover the full ceremony, wagashi, and guided explanation, making it a practical introduction to one of Tokyo's most enduring cultural practices.
