Miyajima Japanese Tea Ceremony

We'll meet at the Okeiko Japan Academy in Miyajima. Here in this cultural space, located in an ancient Zen temple, we'll learn all the ins and outs of a traditional tea ceremony. Known as sadou, this ritual involves the preparation and presentation of matcha. There are several phases, from the utensil preparation to the preparation of the tea, the bows, and the final tasting.
