Matterhorn Tea Party in Switzerland

Guinness World Records? Tea making at 3883 meters!

My friend A-chan from junior high school came from Japan,
We decided to go to Zermatt to see the Matterhorn.
We decided to make tea on the way,
So, my first apprentice, Akemi, and I went to Zurich
We drove 4 hours from Zurich to Zermatt.

Usually, the weather in Switzerland is not as bad as it was this year.

The weather in Switzerland had been bad from April to June,
I was a little worried a week before the departure 😅.

But when I arrived there, I was surprised to see the Matterhorn clearly and distinctly.

I rushed up to the 3883 meter point by lift and gondola,
As I expected, the temperature was minus 😆.

We had no choice but to make matcha (powdered green tea) in the ice cave 🤩.

I have been to Zermatt many times, but this will be a memory I will never forget.

“Do you know how to brew a good cup of matcha?”

Tea party in an old castle in Spain

Japan Event in Spain

Fifty minutes by car from Valencia. I had the pleasure of serving tea at the Japanese festival “Hina Matsuri” in Cujera, where there is an old castle.

After being introduced by the organizer, Ms. Mikita

I tried to speak a little English.

Surprisingly, everyone seemed to understand English.

I was a little surprised.

Still, there were some children and elderly people, so a member of the Valencia Kimono Club translated their questions into Spanish for us.

They translated our questions into Spanish and really helped us out.

The cab we had reserved did not come to the hotel.

I was very surprised that the taxi I had reserved did not come to the hotel,

Is that a common thing in Spain? Other than that, everything went really smoothly and I would like to thank everyone for their help.

It was a really smooth and successful event

It was a very successful event and everyone enjoyed it.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped with the event.

And to Ms. Mikita for all her hard work from planning to management!

Thank you very much, Mikita-san, for all your hard work!

Tea ceremony in Tokyo in 2024 January Part 1

Tea ceremony experience in Tokyo in January 2024, Part I. was held on the executive floor on a high floor of a hotel.

Mt.Fuji in the middle of the room, which made me feel so much better than I expected.

Everyone took a commemorative photo with the blue sky and white clouds in the background.

After chatting a lot, we moved to a private room on the executive floor for a tea ceremony.

Thank you for your participation.

Tea ceremony event in Osaka

Tea ceremony at a table in 5-star hotel in Osaka

Tea ceremony at a table in a 5-star hotel in Osaka

I started holding monthly Kimono Lunches in Zurich in January 2015.

I wanted to do something exciting for everyone, even if it was just going out in a kimono.

At the last kimono lunch party in Osaka,
We had a tea ceremony in a private room on the hotel’s executive floor.

This time we held it in a suite room of a five-star hotel.
The European-style furnishings matched the kimonos very well.
And the theme this time was camellias. A camellia tea bowl.

The main pastry is “Tamatsubaki”, a famous pastry from my hometown of Himeji.
Golden tea bowls were brought from Switzerland. 💦.

And I wrote thank-you notes on Japanese paper.
I handed them out to everyone.

I hope to meet you again in May. Or I will show you online how to serve matcha.

Kimono meetup via Zoom

This kimono meetup will be broadcast on YouTube as well!

We were thrilled to have Hong Kong residents join us for the first time at our last Live!

When we have often met online, we feel like friends even though we have never met in person.

When you participate in our classes many times, you will be able to wear kimonos.
You will be able to wear the kimono naturally and skillfully.
We hope you will join us again and again.

I especially want to thank those who have joined us despite the time difference!

Once again, the number of participants will be limited to approximately 20, so if you are interested in attending, please register as soon as possible.

Again, we would be happy to connect further with various people worldwide.

I am looking forward to seeing you soon!

Online tea-ceremony class with a student in Canada

I met Sachiko-san, a resident of Canada who has been practicing the Urasenke style of tea ceremony since her teenage years, through the audio app Clubhouse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, we have loosely stayed in touch, and she has participated in online kimono tea parties.

After attending an online kimono tea party in April, she promptly applied for the instructor qualification course for the Table Style Tea Ceremony Tsubaki on the same day. Her decision-making skills were impressive! She completed the curriculum for Table Style Tea in three days, including seven lectures and 15 and a half hours of practice with me through Zoom.

Four days later, there was an event at a tea house the following Saturday, and she attended it.

This course is ideal for beginners or those who need to perform tea ceremonies at short notice. While learning the tea ceremony is a lifelong pursuit, having clear goals in sight enables even beginners to do their best.
