ese Matcha Tea Ceremony - More casual style

Hello, everyone. I'm Kaori Osada, a Ninten Instructor at the Japanese Table Sado Association. Today, I'm going to teach you how to make and drink delicious matcha. Matcha is a superfood, so it contains a lot of healthy and useful ingredients. In this day and age, I want to make and drink matcha at home, so that I can calm myself down. Now, let's get started. First, I'll explain the tools. This is a matcha bowl. Place the front part of the bowl facing you. If you are a beginner, you can use a wide bottom like this. This is a teacup. It's a tool to scoop tea. You can use a teaspoon at home. This is a teapot. You can also use a handkerchief. This is a tool to make chasen. Place the knot facing you. This is a tool to make natsume. It's a tool to make matcha. If you shake the matcha in the teacup, it will become fluffy and delicious. This is a kettle. It's a tool to boil hot water. This is a water bottle. It contains hot water of 80 to 90 degrees Celsius. If you use hot water, the water will be cold. And if the temperature is too low, the aroma will be gone. So, I think 80 to 90 degrees Celsius is appropriate. Now, let's get started. First, open the water bottle. Pour about 70 cc of hot water into the teacup. Then, soften the tip of the chasen. Chasen is made of bamboo, so it's easy to break. So, by softening the chasen with hot water, you can prevent the chasen from breaking. Pour the chasen into the teacup. Then, draw a line and pull up the chasen. Next, warm the teacup. Put the teacup on your left hand and put your right hand on the teacup. Turn the teacup clockwise to warm the teacup. Fill the teacup with hot water. Hold the teacup with your left hand. Put the teacup on the teacup. Pour hot water into the teacup. Now, wipe the teacup. First, wipe the outside of the teacup. Then, wipe the inside of the teacup. Next, put the matcha into the teacup. Open the lid of the teacup. It is said that 1.5 to 2 grams of matcha is enough for one cup of tea. Today, I'm going to make 2.5 to 2 grams of matcha. First, fill the teacup with matcha. Then, fill the teacup with the same amount of matcha. Now, wipe the teacup. Close the lid of the teacup. Put the teacup on the teacup. Now, pour hot water into the teacup. Slowly pour hot water into the teacup. Pour about 70 cc of hot water into the teacup. Now, make the tea. Hold the teacup with your left hand. First, write the character I on the teacup. Then, let the tea blend with the hot water. When the tea blends with the water, relax your wrist. Then, shake the teacup up and down. When the tea is ready, raise the teacup a little bit. Then, raise the surface of the teacup. Then, the big bubble will be crushed and the small bubble will be formed. There is no rule that you have to raise the surface of the teacup. So, please enjoy the tea while it is still hot. Finally, remove the teacup from the teacup. Then, pull up the teacup. Did you do well? Next, let's have a cup of tea. First, put the teacup in front of you. When you have a guest, you should put the teacup in front of you. Don't put the teacup in front of you. Hold the teacup with your right hand. Then, put the teacup on your left palm. Then, put your right hand on the teacup. Then, raise the teacup a little bit. You should put the teacup in front of you. So, don't put the teacup in front of you. When the teacup is ready, turn the teacup at 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock. Turn the teacup twice to turn the teacup at 9 o'clock. You can drink as much as you want. When you finish drinking, make a sound to finish drinking. If you make a sound to finish drinking, you can drink without any left over. And you can give a sign to the person who finished drinking. Then, wipe your mouth with your thumb and index finger. Wipe your dirty fingers with the corner of the paper. Put the teacup back to its original position. Turn the teacup at 6 o'clock to turn the teacup at 9 o'clock. Put the teacup on your right hand. That's all. Thank you for your time.
