Moment suspended in time
Very warm welcome. We had a wonderful time suspended thanks to our kind hostess full of sweetness in her words and delicacy when preparing tea. A very subtle tea that we love. A moment of absolute zenitude in a really charming place. I advise you Thank you for this moment

Beautiful, educational and cultural experience
Of course, you will get to participate and drink the tea as well, which was better tasting than any other matcha I'd tried in Japan. Of note, this is a quiet almost meditative experience. Thankfully my two young sons were on their absolute best behavior, but this might not be suitable for children who have a hard time sitting still or staying quiet.
