It was a valuable experience to be able to drink authentic matcha that I don’t usually get the chance to try. I especially enjoyed the matcha shot — it was exceptionally delicious.
Thank you for the nice comment. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tea ceremony! We hope you can make matcha at home using the traditional tea ceremony skills. We hope to see you again someday. BUB Activity Center Asakusa

I had such a lovely time. I learned so many things and could enjoy an amazing cup for Japanese green tea. I loved creating my own sweets too.
Thank you for the comment! We are so gld to hear that, you had fun to make "wagashi" and green tea. We hope you will have fun at least of your trip. BUB Activity Center Asakusa
Joe was a kind guide throughout the process but since it was a solo not group experience, it was less engaging and interactive than I hoped. Learned how to make matcha tea and a white bean sweet, all while dressed up in a kimono over my street clothes (extra warm). Would have liked to learn more about the symbolism and meaning behind the tea ceremony procedures and steps but limited English seems to have gotten in the way.
We made tea with Joe and candy, we had a great time, the warmest of the tea and room provided a much needed reprieve from Tokyo winter
Thank you for the sweet comment. The candy three of you made were creative and interesting. We hope to welcome you back again for more activities someday. BUB Activity Center Asakusa
If you want to learn about Japanese tea ceremony this is the perfect place. You get a small educational lesson before getting started. You make a yummy sweet treat, then learn about making the tea. I would do this again. The staff was amazing with explaining things and so patient with us.

Lisa was super friendly and had amazing english. Really helpful the whole time and make us really comfortable. She helped put on our kimono and had a nice chat with us asking where we were from etc. Would definitely recommend for anyone traveling to tokyo!
