Topic 1: Japanese Tea Ceremony (Chanoyu / Sado)

Chanoyu / Sado is a Japanese ceremonial event, which involves preparing and tasting powdered green tea and Matcha. It is not just drinking tea but it represents comprehensive Japanese art from the decoration of a tearoom, the beauty of the Chaki (Tea utensils) to the manners. Chanoyu / Sado may be thought to be one of the accomplishments of a cultured woman. In fact, it has spread and evolved by samurai.

Harusato Matudaira (called himself Fumai Matudaira), who was the lord of Matsue Domain in Izumo Province, where our company located in, during the Edo period, one of the Chanoyu lovers. He established Fumai-ryu and many Chagashi, Japanese sweets to eat with tea, have produced under the Matsue castle.
Still now Japanese loves Chanoyu / Sado as a part of the tea culture.

Chanoyu / Sado might seems too difficult to do but we can start from tasting the tea.
Matsue and Izumo have the facility to experience Tea Ceremony for free. We recommend that you come by for your visit to Japan.
