Matcha and Kimono experience with Komei - Our encounter with Komei-san during his matcha tea ceremony and kimono experience was simply enchanting. Komei-san's passion for matcha and Japanese culture shone through every moment of our time together. From the outset, Komei-san was attentive and patient as he guided us through the selection and fitting of our kimonos, ensuring each of us felt comfortable and elegant in our attire. He captured our family's joyous moments with skillful photographs, adding to the cherished memories of our visit. During the matcha tea ceremony, Komei-san's expertise and passion was evident as he demonstrated the traditional art of making matcha with grace and precision. His explanations of Japanese teas, along with the intricacies of tea ceremony etiquette, were insightful and easy to understand, even for newcomers. What set this experience apart from other experiences we've had in the past was Komei-san's dedication to sharing the deeper philosophy behind the tea ceremony and matcha, offering us a profound understanding of its cultural significance. The hands-on experience of preparing matcha was engaging and educational, thanks to Komei-san's fluent English and willingness to address our inquiries with patience and clarity. We left this tea ceremony and kimono experience with a newfound appreciation for Japanese customs and etiquette (which happily, we were able to use later in our trip)! If you're visiting Japan and seeking an authentic cultural immersion led by a knowledgeable and personable host, look no further than Komei-san. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience—it's a true gem in the heart of Japan.

The Highlight of our Japan trip! - The highlight of our trip, we had a wonderful time with Komei learning about the rich history of matcha, trying out the kimonos, and learning how to properly whisk our matcha like a pro. Komei is very friendly, extremely fluent in English (he studied in the US), and super approachable to answer any questions we had about the ceremonial process and the different types of matcha in Japan. We highly recommend anyone even remotely interested in Matcha and Japanese culture to attend this experience!

Must visit experience, highly recommended - Wonderful session by the host. He very patiently explained the entire history of Matcha, the difference between Matcha and other kinds of teas, how matcha is different from green tea, how to make matcha tea in traditional Japanese style and how to drink matcha. Great learning of their culture. A must visit experience. Highly recommended.

Passion, history and enjoyment with kimonos and matcha - For me, this was one of the most interesting experiences in Japan. I was surprised by the little history lesson, where I was able to learn a lot more than I expected. The guide/teacher is an excellent example of how passion for a subject can be really contagious. It's just fun to listen to him and learn some beautiful aspects of Japanese culture from him that you wouldn't otherwise "just stumble across". He is also developing his own type of matcha, which I'm excited to see when it becomes available in the future. If you're interested in tea, matcha or kimonos, it's definitely worth it.

A swedes first experience of a te cermony - Super fun experience! The host was very friendly and informed on the subject. I got to learn more than i thought i would about the formalities of te ceremony would definitly recommend.

Super fun and enriching experience! - Such a fun amazing experience! Komei, the tea master and host, is an extremely knowledgable and personable human being. You could really sense his passion for the tea ceremony in every aspect of the workshop. He also made the experience feel very personal and special. As a matcha lover, I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the history of matcha ceremonies in Japan. The matcha was also delicious! The workshop was well paced and informative. Learning about the cultural significance and the meticulous care taken in every aspect of the ceremony enriched the experience tremendously. The Matcha and Kimono Experience in Tokyo is something I highly recommend. It’s suitable for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Japanese culture or just wanting to try something new and enjoyable. A must do in Tokyo!

Enjoyable experience! - Really cozy atmosphere and the host was really kind! Was great learning about Tea Ceremonies, different tea types and matcha and some facts about the Kimonos history. In the end we made our own bowl of matcha, learning some tips and tricks on how to do a perfect matcha at home!

Great experience! - I definitely recommend it. We heard the captivating story of the origins of the matcha ceremony in Japan. Then we prepared it ourselves. The great time was complemented by listening to the entire lecture in kimonos. A very interesting experience.

Interesting and useful tea workshop - It was very warm atmosphere during whole workshop. We have known a bit about tea and kimono history. Had chance to wear casual kimono and learned how to do it properly. Now I know what the difference between green tea and nachts and how to brew matcha appropriately, and also how to choose good matcha. It was really useful and interesting workshop!
