The Art of Japanese Tea Ceremony in Tokyo with Takeda Rie
Tea ceremony in Ginza:
Follow along as Shizuka dons a kimono and enters through a tiny sliding door into a “chashitsu” tea room. There, she’s joined by tea ceremony instructor Takeda Rie, who has over 40 years of experience participating in and hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
Known as “chado” or “sado” (literally, “way of tea”), the traditional tea ceremony has been around for centuries in Japan. Tea ceremony culture first came from China along with Zen Buddhism and tea was originally consumed by priests and noblemen in Japan.
Samurai culture is also deeply intertwined with the Japanese tea ceremony. The door to enter the tea room was specifically made so small so that the samurai were forced to leave their swords behind (as they would not fit through the door). When entering the tea room, there is certainly a feeling of peace and warm hospitality.

Just want to say Hi to everyone 😊🇵🇭
shizuka kawaii
I'm really don't understand why young people in Japan prefer coffee instead matchá. This rich and beautiful ceremony deserves celebrates every day to relax the mind and soul after a hard day.
Very pretentious culture. Lots of stuff that are probably made up because it should look good on TV. If they would have lived like this in their history they would not have survived or they had many many slaves doing att he strange stuff for them. That water btw did not look clean :/ The content i do not like so much but the quality of the episode was very very good and ms/mrs Anderson is always a treat to watch 🙂
Shizuka in a kimono😍
How this get recommended while watching Naruto clips…. I don't know(youtube algorithm) but japanese culture and food looks good. Subscribed.
Do men participate in such tea parties?
I am i the only one who got disappointed after the sweets were taken away, i was thinking "Oh wait! the i can eat the rest" XD
i love you, Shizuka
Watching this on Christmas Eve, the elegance and grace Shizuka has is stunning.
Please keep the videos coming! Much love from Sydney, Australia
She's as pretty as food 😮
Dibs on tea "body shots" with Shizzy. The best part, you know she reads these comments and enjoys them. LOL.
Merry Christmas Shizuka.
I'm a simple guy. I saw Ms. Anderson, I click. 😊
Ah, this reminds me of taking classes when I was in Japan. I always loved seeing what seasonal sweets we would have with our tea.
Don't know what it is… but watching movies with you is very soothing and relaxing regardless of the content of the movie and the people in it…
Merry Christmas to you Shizuka !!!
@shizuka – you make it look so easy. I'd be afraid to spill the tea on myself or on the tatami mat especially when the instructor is so close watching your every movement from the speed and angle of your swirl to the actual tasting.
I assume early Spring or Fall is the best time as it probably can be warm in the kimono while performing the ceremony.
Always engaging, entertaining, beautiful and informative Shizuka 🙂
hot look… matcha…so bitter sometimes
Id like some of that. Peace and quite from all this chaos in the world today. 😗
I am here just to see Shizuka, that's all.
Beautiful video, beautiful presenter, beautiful music in the back ground, beautiful filming 🙂 … Max D. Capo step up your game!! lol
You are so beautiful
Shizuka is such an engaging host. She really beings the viewer into the experience.
Looks like marzipan. Easy to form into any shape.
You look good in Kimono!!
Hello shizuka , great video 🍵 👍
Merry Christmas!❄️❄️
Excellent Video!
Like Anderson here, I too have tasted super bitter Japanese matcha before and that's why the sweet treats are important as it is to offset those bitter flavours that might linger on your tongue for a very long time! 😱
Hmm… Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the bamboo whisk is actually called "Chasen". The bamboo scoop would be the "Chashaku" and bowl would be the "Chawan". The whole tea ritual is called "Chanoyu".
Fantastic 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
Shizuka has the most luminous smile!
