Description
Breakfast in the tea ceremony is simple.
Onigiri, egg dishes, pickles and soups.
Onigiri are prepared early in the morning, carefully prepared, and prepared according to the arrival of the customer.
The rice is made from "Tsuyahime", which has been certified as the highest quality as Special A rice by the government.
With all my heart, I use the cooked rice to make rice balls on the spot.
One of Japan's most beloved dishes is hot freshly prepared rice balls.
The mellow aroma of freshly cooked food and rich taste will fill your mouth.
After the meal, a tea ceremony follows.
On a tea ceremony experience that combines a short meditation with a Zen world, watch the beautiful process of preparing a bowl and enjoy the finest matcha tea and cute sweets.

Beautiful tea experience
We really enjoyed our time with this experience. Making a Japanese breakfast and enjoying it afterwards was a great precursor to the tea ceremony. The instructor was so friendly and explained the tea ceremony well before having a chance to make our own matcha tea.

Tea ceremony plus making onigiri. Great experience!
Experienced and learned the nuances of a tea ceremony in a relaxed setting. Plus tried a hand at onigiri which was then served with other goodies. Highly recommend.
Just had a bit of a challenge finding the venue. Otherwise was great!

A beautiful family experience
It was a lovely experience to share with the family.
The breakfast was delicious and gave us all a fantastic understanding of what a traditional Japanese breakfast looks like.
And the tea ceremony was something that I think we will always remember. Just beautiful.
All of our lovely hosts/instructors were so kind, insightful and had very good humour.
Highly recommend.
