Everything about the "tea culture" is more therapeutic. The sounds of the tinkling porcelain, the waiting, the steam, the feeling of the warmth in your belly. The subtle flavor . The appreciation of time spent in contemplation. I have my teatime every day. It is a ritual. A ceremony.Like a prayer. A good time to pray.or just relax.

Hello

[@ceciliaogawa5807]

It's amazing that the tea house has been there since the 1700 hundreds just experiencing entering a place so old. I felt relax just watching your video. I can't imagine how relaxing it is in person. Thank you for sharing the experience of kyoto's wonderful and beautiful place to visit. Have a beautiful day.

[@katkat5484]

It said they have been in the tea business since 1700s, not that they have been in that building since 1700s. Nice thought though.

Thank you Shinichi and Satoshi. My great great ancestors came from China but we're not Chinese. We're a minority group which the Chinese called Miao, here in America we're called Hmong. We also love having sweet rice pounded into mochi the traditional old way that I once saw on KZbin in Japan. Here in America I was taught the old traditional ways to make food by my mother. I hope to get a Mochi rice maker to make the rice cakes. Love watching your videos.

[@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood]

Thank you for sharing your story with me.

[@ntxhiavxyooj7111]

Thank you. I love to cook and I love be creative when I cook. Watching others post food that they have eaten or buy. It gives me inspiration in being creative in my food.

[@debracantrell1058]

Love these kinds of video thanks for sharing this video with us all take care stay safe ❤️😘😘

[@MrHousecup]

Just watching this makes me feel a sense of peace. ☺

[@VerhoevenSimon]

That looks such a peaceful place to relax, and that mochi treat looked like a delight alongside the tea.

[@RaxaPKXD]

Wow, that's incredible! I'm from Germany, everything here is fast and efficient. The down side is, nobody is caring about the Soul!

[@inge6280]

What a wonderful place

[@Munchcala]

Exactly what I needed tonight! I love how peaceful all your videos are, this one will surely make me feel better. Thank you for taking us to these amazing places and showing us foods and things we could never dream of seeing in person

[@italianlifestyle7911]

The food looks so delish! I love everything about this country!♥

[@user-us6ce7me8k]

Me too

[@pikakerose]

hot tea sounds so relaxing n i love that mochi with the anko i can imagine how well it goes together

[@ibz8455]

Love your videos, thank you for that excellent tea. My drink of choice is coffee..... but your tea looked very nice.

[@mindysmom6132]

Thank you both for sharing your tea and wagashi with us. Kyoto is such a beautiful place. I try and drink a cup of iced green tea every day, as it has been so hot. As of late, I can only have decaf, because the caffeinated green tea is too acidic for me. I miss having Japanese tea and wagashi with my mama. Natsukashi ne. Take care! ❤❤

[@wondersinmotion]

What a nice time I've had with you in this lovely tea shop. I feel so relaxed now! Thanks a lot my friend!!

[@righteothenable]

Oh, that looks good. I loved the food in Kyoto when I visited there.

[@angemaidment5640]

I love the calm ritual feel of having tea this way.

[@shannondore]

Thanks Shinichi! What a lovely relaxing experience you guys had. I want that tea pot, it's so cute.😊

[@arnonum7455]

I like a strong Gyokuro. Would have loved to sit on that table with you guys and enjoy the tea. Next year, Japan-journey is in sight, if there is no new virus or WW III.😒 People should drink more tea! Greetings from Saxony/ Germany.

[@Scriptor13]

I agree, Shinichi, processes which force us to slow down and focus are relaxing. Just the repetition alone gets one out of one's head. 👍Thank you and Satoshi for this look into Ippodo and for sharing your tea and wagashi with us. It was a lovely interlude. ♥♥

[@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood]

Thank you!

[@JadenYukifan28]

@@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood Out of curiosity, how is putting hot water into the cup supposed to lower its temperature before pouring the tea in? Wouldn't it raise the temperature?

[@JadenYukifan28]

@@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood Wait, I misunderstood what you said, it was lowering the temperature of the water, not the cup....

[@tbucknor]

Chocolate milk! That mochi looks so tasty. Thanx for always taking us along on your travels!

[@jangarr222]

My favourite tea is green tea with jasmine

[@AmbientWalking]

Awesome. Always happy to be able to see the world through your eyes. :)

Selamat pagi kakak saya sangat menikmati ini terimakasih atas sharing nya

[@macsenplays]

I love watching the more traditional Japanese experiences. I'll need to add this to my list of things I want to do in Japan.

[@lifeofangie4376]

Honestly such a beautiful video Shinichi, so calming and information and of course, visually beautiful. Thank you for creating these works of art ❤

[@HappyLifeFoodAroundTheWorld]

This is so nice and so authentic !

[@matiasezequielcastro9358]

This video is sooo relaxing. I love it!

[@PREPFORIT]

Yes If I am relaxing at home or I have a lot of work to complete I like some Hojicha Powder instead of Matcha for a change. Red wine with steak and a beer with burgers. 👍🏻 and coffee every day but Not after 5pm or I would never sleep.

[@shannondore]

You kinda sound like me... coffee in the mornings (only), oolong tea or sparkling water during the day, wine with dinner, and beer with pizza. 😆

[@PREPFORIT]

@@shannondore yes very similar ✔

[@ericipo]

👀😃Japanese tea with wagashi!!!-Always a delicious experience watching your videos!!!👏🤙⚡️

[@writingraven3314]

What a great tea house. I've lately been drinking tea in the morning instead of coffee. In the States, coffee is king. I enjoy green tea and orange spice black tea. Do they read tea leaves in Japan?

[@THETRIVIALTHINGS]

I've read there's a whole process and ceremony of having tea. It looks elegant and disciplined.

[@mjph89]

I love green tea. Would love to try that place once permitted. :-)

[@angelamapa2529]

Thanks for the instructions!

[@ronalddevine9587]

I live in Connecticut and my beverage of choice is tea, when at home. In restaurants I drink coffee. American restaurants just don't know how to properly make tea. I generally prefer a black tea, English Breakfast etc.

[@craigbowie8925]

Yorkshire Gold Tea is one of my favorites.

[@damita1976]

How lovely, wish we had tea houses in Winnipeg ❤

[@gregharald1072]

Hi there

[@lShishkaBerryl]

My favorite beverage is beer 😅🍻 but my favorite tea is earl grey.

[@tamara4557]

Love the design on Satoshi's wagashi! But I think I would chose the mochi. Just love the chewy texture. Usually I get sencha, I'm not really liking gyokuro even though it is a top tea. But my favourite is genmai cha (sometimes with matcha mixed in). And I had a specialty tea I bought in a Shinjuku department store that I loved but never found it again.

[@chandra38]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@emilysakuma]

I really like genmaicha

Beautiful

Yummy love tea❤

[@adityacahya7864]

thanks for your videos, and now i wonder what kind of stick did you use for cutting the wagashi? is that a bamboo stick? or something else?

[@SpoofyAnn]

Tea.......😋

[@yellow4384]

i absolutely love your videos

[@Salfry]

I would like to buy a tea-set like that for myself, does anyone know where I can get it?

👍👍

[@TokyoCapsuleCollection]

Wagashi is not suitable as a souvenir because it does not last long. Green tea is also difficult for amateurs to brew. So I would definitely encourage tourists to try them in Kyoto.

[@sarahgilbert9052]

I drink sencha nagashima in Canada. Can i do the same ritual?

[@summerdragonfly]

💙✌

[@GodAtum]

you put too much tea leaves in, I would only put half a teaspoon

[@joreyfunari8978]

✅ Pᵣₒmₒˢᵐ

[@Down-South]

I don’t think the first cup is for drinking. Chinese threw away the first cup.

[@restaurantman]

That depends on the tea being brewed. Green Tea (such as the Japanese Genmaicha shown in the video) does not require the rinsing process.

[@t.fahrmann9757]

...rip off since 1717....also an accomplishment...😡😣😉😁😅😂🤣
