▲ Matcha originated from the "powdered tea" of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China. It was introduced to Japan by monks during the Southern Song Dynasty and developed into the core element of the tea ceremony by Sen no Rikyu. Japanese matcha is famous in Uji, but Kawaguchiko at the foot of Mount Fuji has become a popular experience site because of its combination of scenery and culture. Matcha is not only a drink, but also a symbol of the Zen of "once in a lifetime". When experiencing it, you need to follow the etiquette of the tea ceremony and feel the harmony of silence and nature. In the tea room, learn how to grind matcha (stone mortar), make tea, and pair it with Japanese confectionery to experience the ritual of the tea ceremony. Free experience.
