Event Overview
Experience a unique matcha tasting game called “tocha” and watch a graceful tea ceremony in a tea master’s private tearoom situated close to the Nishi Chaya District. Tocha is a traditional matcha tasting game with over 700 years of history.
The experience offers three varieties of matcha carefully selected by the tea master, and allows you to find your favourite by comparing the three different aromas and taste. This not a typical tea ceremony experience, but rather a precious opportunity to discover the taste of the matcha.
