Enjoying thick tea in a tearoom
This is an experience of enjoying thick tea in the mystical atmosphere of a tearoom.
Thick tea is Matcha with a thick consistency served in a formal tea ceremony.
Although not commonly drunk, Matcha of very high quality is used, and thus its own flavor and aroma spread directly and fully in the mouth.

Evening tea ceremony
The tearoom is lit up by the light of a Japanese candle only. You will eat Namagashi (unbaked sweets) and drink Matcha in a quaint “evening tea ceremony”.
It is a special experience only available at the Fukujuen Kyoto Flagship Store and limited to one group per day.
The light and shade of the Japanese candle create a mystical atmosphere.
A cup of tea surrounded by a tranquil atmosphere will certainly have a supreme taste.
