How Matcha is Actually Served in Japanese Tea Ceremony

[@CJ-rx5fi]

This was so relaxing to watch! Every move she makes is so deliberate, like a specially choreographed performance. What a beautiful art!

[@taz2906]

I feel peaceful just by watching this so I can only imagine how sublime it would be in real life to experience tea ceremony.

[@taz2906]

And I love how she taught us how to make matcha too. I kinda want to try making it myself now. Thank you for sharing this Shogo-san.

[@martag029]

I loved watching this! Very relaxing and soothing atmosphere. I feel like Japanese tea ceremony has many elements that you find in ASMR videos.

[@LetsaskShogo]

That’s right! If you actually join one yourself, it’s even better of course😍

[@Chubbasaurus]

I definitely got some lovely ASMR tingles!

[@godmelanin2676]

I could watch this woman prepare tea all day long. Extremely calming experience, even through a lense.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

Agreed. Even though we are missing out on the scent and the more minute sounds such as the rain, it still is an incredible experience.

[@kimemerson5732]

I feel the same as Kazu, I completely tuned every other sound out, I was completely lost in the ceremony. Your Hostess is lovely, and her calmness made me feel at ease immediately. I would love to experience this one day in person. Thank you very much!

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

You precisely encapsulated my own thoughts in your words. Thank you.

[@kimemerson5732]

@@ranekeisenkralle8265, thank you!

[@portalkey5283]

I was mesmerized watching my very first youtube video of a Japanese tea ceremony when I was younger. Can't wait to see this!

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

To call this a gem is an understatement, Shogo. This experience in itself would be reason enough to visit Kyoto - perhaps with the addition of a visit to the various marvelous temple gardens to round it out. Thank you very much for introducing us to this experience. It is very much appreciated - more so than I am capable of putting into words.

[@MelkorPT]

Thank you for uploading this and allowing those of us who probably will never be able to travel to Japan to vicariously experience this wonderful ceremony.

[@trkimura]

So calming! I really want to try this experience! I think it’s so much more intimate when you get a private room. Also, the hostess is lovely!

[@AnimakeltiaOfficial]

So beautifull tea ceremony with lovely host and beautiful song of the rain, I hope to can make this experience too when I will come in Japan. Thank you Shogo and Kazu to share with you this intimate and peacefull moment ❤️

[@CloneShockTrooper]

I tried matcha 🍵 and especially the ceremonial experience in Kyoto 🇯🇵 and it was something I loved and hold dear. Japan 🇯🇵 Japanese culture, language and the Japanese people is for me connected with positive experience. Definitely my favorite culture and country 🙇‍♂️ 🇯🇵

[@typo1345]

hear hear, it's something that connects me and my sister too, is shared love of Japanese culture, anime, and manga. I'm also taking Japanese courses now in college, trying to become multilingual. I'm already fluent in hiragana and katakana, and I'm starting to get a grasp on kanji

[@redeyeIT]

So happy to see Camellia garden in your vids. I had my first tea ceremony with them back in 2015 (at that time It wasn't near ryoan-ji, if I recall correctly it was in ninenzaka)... It's still one of the fondest memories I have of my several trips to Kyoto. I can't wait to be back there again!

[@thepilgrimage3306]

Hi i am planning to have my first tea ceremony this year how much will it cost in camellia Garden?

[@saltycross]

It's my first time to actually watch a tea ceremony experience and I have to say, that was quite wonderful ♥ I've always been curious about it and wanted to have a glimpse on how it goes ♥ Thanks Shogo and Kazu~ The Lady was quite charming too~ ♪

[@natemathews3780]

I hope I get to have a tea ceremony like this one day. That was very zen.

[@davidsensei5298]

I was looking forward to this kind of video. My recent reading about Sen no Rikyu and a tea ceremony made me feel like "this is awesome, I want to know more about it". And here we are. Thank you Shogo-san.

[@alcidesdossantosfreitas7903]

Dear Shogo and Kazu, what a great video! Indeed, the tea ceremony is a moment of calm. You have a superb setting, and what an emotion! I have not yet had the chance to participate in the Tea Ceremony ... You know, in France, it remains a privilege to attend The Tea Ceremony. But .. I believe in luck, and maybe I will have the honor to attend The Tea Ceremony ... who knows? But with this global pandemic, it is delayed ... Your video allows me to live in communion with You and Kazu this serenity and this restorative calm that this beautiful ceremony brings. Continue these videos so impressive that enriching on all your superb traditions. With all the friendship that I have for you Shogo and Kazu.

[@arizonawidener1316]

I literally just ordered the celebration crane set the other day from here! I am so happy I got to see an inside look at their tea ceremony. Thank you!

[@kyoro3414]

I have like two containers of green tea and I always drink it when it rains or when I feel stressed out but honestly, Green Tea/Matcha is one of my favorite tea

[@itsallgood1972]

Thank u for this. She is very skilled.

[@whatweeat9476]

I am feeling relaxed just by watching the video. I really want to experience a tea ceremony really soon

[@Gyanbuda]

Amazing! I cried at the end because of the sheer beauty.

[@AndreaJ19715]

I need the indoors natural lighting concept in my life ASAP

[@Jigawatt1point21]

どうもありがとうございました This was so amazingly relaxing!

[@aaronbardsley1334]

this looks so peaceful

[@cliffordbrunetti2486]

I just returned from Kyoto and have a renewed interest in Chanoyu. Thank you for this video.

[@rengemiyauchi8242]

I am seriously loving these hidden gem videos! Keep up the great work!

[@LetsaskShogo]

There’s going to be more and more coming! I hope you can look forward to them😍

[@SleepingTiger-vlog]

Best video yet. Thank you.

[@karengerber8390]

19:27, Sunday 3 April, 2022 Thank you to everyone. This was educational, entertaining, & enjoyable. Thank you for this peaceful time.

[@Fuzzycop]

Very beautiful, ceremony! If you didn't notice it, the moment she opened the box of matcha, the wind picked up.

[@maroulio2067]

My husband and I went to observe a tea ceremony at the Seattle Art Museum (Washington, USA) that was in a small tea house. It was lovely to watch, and we were served tea and sweet after. I would love to be an actual participant as you both were. All your videos are such treasures to watch.

[@MrTobi013]

Ooh, this is on my bucket list!

[@sosmanoriginal7048]

Tea ceremony seems so exciting, I’d like to take part some day.

[@ShootingStar6406]

Today is a stressful day for me. Now I wish I could go to a tea ceremony just to escape from the stress! But this is the next best thing. Thanks for posting!

[@ddlp8252]

Shogo…I love this video!!! Thank you for sharing this with all of us.

[@ElegantKyotoGuide]

It's been a long time since I've seen and done a tea ceremony. Really good for my mind👼

[@kagitsune]

Watching the serving ceremony is so cool. It's like a meditation of intentionality and respect to guests. Makes me want to learn it a little bit. 😊🍵 Also the bunny and frog cartoons in the video are so cute 🐸🐇😍

[@ChristinaDior90]

Atsuko-san is a great tea master. I had the honor to meet her this summer. Camellia is a great tea ceremony experience, please visit them if you’re in Kyoto. I started learning tea ceremony after visiting Kyoto. It’s a great meditative experience.

[@The-Great-Gonzo]

I would love to experience this someday. So relaxing and beautiful. What a wonderful cultural experience. Thank you for sharing!

[@ZoDDto]

Really nice experience. Thanks to Shogo, I started drinking matcha a few months ago. I enjoy it every day since then. :D

[@ΝίκηΧανδρή]

15 minutes to prepare a cup of matcha tea. 0 minutes needed in cleaning the surrounding area afterwards, because nothing was spilled, the mats most likely are stainless cause the tea wasn't splashed whilst mixing. No sticky sugar. Compare this to our instant coffee counter. We are always in a hurry. To make instant coffee in 2 minutes, we often will spill some coffee, spill some sugar, spill some milk, whilst mixing we might splash the coffee and most of us throw the spoon in the sink. After a few minutes the counter needs to be swept of sticky coffee and sugar granules, and then thoroughly wiped down. So I see the efficiency in this ceremony. Also, far more peaceful.

[@trkimura]

Wow, what an amazing experience!

[@sahi_9364]

It's just relaxing 😌 I think even I have enjoyed tea ceremony with you guys. ThankQ so much for introducing this to us.

[@brandonward3551]

Another well-done informative video. I especially took to the liking of the words "honored guests" being used instead of "customer". I've noted the name of this place as a high recommendation to consider when planning my "Japan is open to tourist trip" in April of whatever year it is again. Also I extra-like your Kyoto Hidden Gems vids.

[@TheDackKnight]

I never comment your videos, but I had to for this one! The video was so relaxing to watch, and so interesting! Please continue this series of videos, it's so great :)

[@karlvera]

Beatiful experiences... I hope to go there...

[@cnscaevola]

I follow them on instagram, and they seem so amazing! (And they have lovely photos.)

[@genekwagmyrsingh9433]

Yakimono obsessive here: couldn't stop staring at the pottery... so sublime.

[@aunabreslingaming3279]

Yeah I’m totally down with this

[@rodneywhitfield5754]

Thank You so very much, for all you do.

[@Elven.]

This is something I always wanted to know about. I also forgot about everything while watching her

[@OFF732]

Cool! Can't wait!

[@lowpinglag]

I would compare this to visiting a three star michelin restaurant. You are not there for a easy meal that will fill your belly, you are there for the experience. The same goes for a tea ceremony, you are not there for a cup of tea, you are there for the experience.

[@Nara79011]

Thank you so much for such a useful video!! I am Vietnamese and I'm very passionate about Tea ceremonies and kimono, geisha,... Anything that related to Japan's traditions in Kyoto. I really want to live in Kyoto and get a job about tradition and culture. Can you make a video showing us traditional jobs in Kyoto that foreigners can do? Thank you so much!!!!

[@elishhf]

My mind's been detoxed already just by watching the video! Would love to visit there in the future. Btw, it reminds me a lot of Kamisato Ayaka from Genshin Impact (she's a character from this game btw), coz she'd mentioned liking to do tea ceremony hahaha xD

[@KenKaneki-vl8ki]

My Japanese genes makes me bow everytime you guys do

[@joaomanoel3197]

Muito bom 👍👍

[@johnnzboy]

Very beautıful and tranquil ceremony. Were you also a tea server, Shogo? I have seen footage of tea ceremonies in documentaries/KZbin videos and the servers have always been women, are there also male tea servers?

[@LetsaskShogo]

Yes I used to be a tea server myself! However my master prohibits me to do it on social media, so that’s why I cannot show you how I do it unfortunately…😭

[@7Hellzz]

10:25 It's like that episode from Samurai Jack in season 5.

[@rainerlovesjapan9468]

I💙💙💙Kyoto

[@brucekirkpatrick3653]

Armor appears to be Do-Maru type, not O-Yoroi. Nambokucho or Muromachi period.

[@michaelschonhofen622]

As she started the ceremony, I thought I had missed the part where she put the tea powder into the cup. So I scrolled the video back. But the I realized she was just cleaning the cup.

[@619chrisoriginal]

I follow their channel on here

[@qaidikramuddin]

Wonderful stuff. Thank you. Her English is spot on! Is it also correct to call it CHADO?

[@michealdescande9320]

Please do a video on bonsai please

[@lutf.l]

Random question; Does winter shogun exist or just a myth?

[@k1ng0fgam3s]

I hope by asking this question I don’t come out as rude or ignorant, but i am curious, the tea sweets, say you are a diabetic (assuming they contain sugar) is it rude to not eat the tea sweets or maybe ask for a non sugar variety? Some of my biggest fears is traveling to foreign lands where they carry such traditions as Japan for example but having such an illness as mine and not knowing how to approach situations where one is limited to the foods you can have and having to deny the consumption of certain foods. I hope i said this right and again I apologize if my comment sounds ignorant or rude im just curious. Thanks in advance for any replies on my comment.

[@leosullivan9228]

is there an actual japanese form which describes the punctuated way you speak in the Lets Ask Shogo vids?

[@jeyfromnowhere]

Is the ceremony always right-handed only, even if the person performing is left-handed?

[@genekwagmyrsingh9433]

16:40 I want to do the ceremony so bad but I'm 100 percent certain I won't like the tea... I'd rather do Wakoucha, honestly.

[@Tanno_Buchino]

It was a very relaxing experience with amazing Japanese environment. The tea house, the nature, the lady. It was, like, visiting an entirely different world than yours, unknown to you. You're just amazed by its beauty. I started drinking tea since I stopped drinking coffee 4 months ago, so I plan to try the macha and get the appropriate tools since I understood at what's going on with the gift my kendo friends gave me.

[@wiesejay]

Hmmm-Urasenke?

[@johnynoway9127]

wonder what happens if a guest falls asleep during the ceremony due to its peacefull nature?

[@yasharox]

Why is Kazu’s face censored?

[@nyosuhtlryca]

👍

[@clearhero7487]

I think I know the answer. but I'm a Latin American. can I still practice the ceremony with my family? I don't want to show disrespect because I'm not Japanese.

[@genekwagmyrsingh9433]

Why do we not show Kazu's mouth? I'm new here.

[@nupriyanka]

🌻🍀🍊🐘🙏

[@src2706]

Why so much respect, tradition and culture still in 2021 ? May be bcoz it's Kyoto cause Tokyo is like 80% different

[@kikukusanagi]

Shogo-san, you have this video titled "Private TEA ceremony" and yet, you're about to broadcast on KZbin... That's not very private, is it?

[@HCDVelcra]

The dumbest comment I have seen in days

[@pedroyuuhi]

Vel must be really fun at parties
