New place to stayWould you like to try some authentic matcha?
I tried drinking authentic matcha. There are two types: thin tea and thick tea. This time, we will provide both. I'm intimidated because I don't know about the tea ceremony, the rules, or the customs. I'm interested in the tea ceremony, but it's hard to get into. We have been granted special permission to use the temple's main hall and the ceremonial hall, We will hold a tea ceremony so that even beginners can enjoy it. This year marks the third year.
