Tea Ceremony hosted by Yuuka Ishiu

The workshop includes an explanation and demonstration of the tea ceremony. Participants will then make and taste their own matcha drink and accompanying Japanese sweets called nerikiri in cherry blossom and chrysanthemum flavors. Nerikiri is made from a malleable dough of white bean paste, sugar, and gyuhi (soft rice flour dough). Matcha tea bowls, made locally by Charity Rust-Jordan, and extra sweets can be taken home.
