Uji Tea Ceremony Hall “House of Takumi”

You can enjoy a variety of tea experiences near Uji River. (Explanations in English are available.) For example, you can learn how to brew delicious Uji tea with the guidance of a Nihoncha (Japanese Tea) Instructor. If you are interested in matcha green tea, it would be wonderful to learn how to whisk up delicious matcha in a simple way. After that, you can draw or write what you want on the surface of your matcha, using dark green matcha. Finally, you can actually savor the flavor of your matcha. Chakabuki, a tea tasting and guessing game, is another fun experience. This game is available by reservation.
