A Truly Special Way of Tea experience

It was a wonderful introduction to the Way of Tea at a peaceful lounge just a few minutes from Asakusa Station—truly a special experience. The space was calm and elegant, featuring an authentic tea room with a beautiful hanging scroll and traditional utensils that created a genuine atmosphere.

Midori was so kind, fun and knowledgeable! My sister and I had a great time. The space was calm and clean and exactly what a tea ceremony should embody. It was an interactive experience and we left with a few souvenirs. We really enjoyed not only watching but making our own matcha. Thank you Midori, we will always remember you 🩷
