Japanese Tea Tasting & Shochu Experience in Osaka

In this hands-on workshop, you will explore how Japanese tea is brewed and enjoyed in everyday life. Guests will taste several classic Japanese teas including sencha, hojicha, genmaicha, and matcha. Using a traditional kyusu teapot, you will learn practical brewing techniques such as water temperature, leaf quantity, and how flavor changes between the first and second infusion. After brewing and tasting the teas yourself, you will discover how tea is part of daily life in Japan—from relaxing at home to enjoying tea in casual izakaya bars.
