About This Tour
— A Homestyle Cultural Workshop in Historic Yanaka — Create delicate wagashi (Japanese sweets), learn to brew artisan teas, and feel the warm heart of Tokyo’s Yanaka neighborhood. You will make Wagashi for 45 mins(one wagashi, two for 60 minutes), set the table, and enjoy them with tea tasting, home-style! It is considered a high-class Japanese sweet called Jo-Nama-Gashi(Jo means Upper or high class, and Name means freshly made) and served at tea ceremonies and ceremonial occasions. Nerikiri is most well-known for its beautiful presentation, which might include scenery, flowers, and lucky motifs with a delicate taste. We teach you the basics, and try making your Nerikiri with your imagination! We will serve three essential and popular everyday teas(Sencha, Genmaicha, and Hojicha) for you based on how we serve them at home! Knowing how we enjoy teas at home is a casual but insightful experience. We will show you how to serve the tea, the difference, and the suitable TPO for each tea.
