Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for this amazing review! As someone who has dedicated many years to the traditional tea ceremony, hearing that you found the history fascinating and our matcha to be the 'best ever' is the ultimate compliment. Sharing the deep culture of Kyoto with wonderful guests like you is my true passion. Thank you for calling us a 'must-do', and I hope to welcome you back for another bowl of tea in the future!
