Thank you for introducing wonderful Japanese @Anonymous
Your experience is major as a luxury light tea🍵. Pouring hot water into the bowl is to make the temperature around 80 ℃. Like Chinese tea and western tea, it needs to warm up the unit to maximize the aroma of tea leaves⏳.
Anyway, it looks like a delicious onigiri🤤

Thank you for sharing, @Anonymous. The garden and dish presentation looks amazing. I'm sure the taste doesn't fail as well. You can easily see how much thought, care and effort the owners have put into making a calm zen environment. I've always admired places that put an extra effort for a good environment. It is what makes the experience memorable after all.

For sure, you're a lucky person @Anonymous. You have the chance to experience one of the most fascinating cultures. I've tried nettle tea and to be honest is not one of my favorites. Also, red bean sugar cookies? How do they taste like?
@DeniGu, you know me :), I like a lot cupcakes.

@YasumiKikuchiThank you for your comment and the insight into tea. I really enjoyed the aromatics from the tea and could relax. By the way, the onigiri was made from Koshihikari rice and premium Japanese nori.

@IrrPavlova Thank you for your comment. I agree with you that the environment for tea drinking is important and make the whole experience surreal. Just having a tea at home is not the same for me. The maitre'd was knowledgable and very helpful.

@VasT The cookies have a simple and well balanced flavor. I think nettle #tea can have a strange after-taste, but I try to drink it for its health benefits. What other teas do you like?

Thank you for your interest and your time to write me back @Anonymous,
My current favorites: A mix of green tea. I like to drink rose hip and cranberry tea because of the antioxidants. Also, rose hip helps the immune system during the cold months.

@VasT Looks and sounds good. I also love cranberry juices and teas. The astringency quenches my thirst in the summer months. Have you ever tried any alcohol infused teas?

No, I haven't tried any alcohol infused teas, as a matter of fact it's the first time I hear about them. Are they any tasty? What's the difference between them and the regular types of tea?

@VasT I think there are very subtle differences in taste. Depends on the quality and region of the tea. Mild grassy notes...
