I keep wiping the part that was put in my mouth.
Thank you. Please wear it.
Thank you.
Have you ever paid for tea ceremony lessons before?
Yes, there was something I did back when I was a student.
Was it Mr. Oura?
No, actually, when I was a student, there were school events where we had tea ceremony classes, so I had a little bit of experience with it.
I've never actually worn such a kimono properly.
Ah, is that so.
Please enjoy it thoroughly.
Tea ceremony has a remarkably long history, you know.
Long ago, when there were Warring States generals, they would...
Something like chill vibes these days, used in this way,
I'm going to do it now,
You clean all the dishes and utensils thoroughly, making them sparkle.
Not just tableware, but also things like this tea caddy, you know.
Clean this kind of thing up right before your eyes,
It's perfectly safe, no poison at all.
To reassure you.
After neatly arranging it in front of me, I prepared the tea.
The sound of the customer making tea, or the sound of...
Scenery as beautiful as this, or
Seeing things like that, I let out a sigh of relief.
And letting out a sigh of relief, I calmed my heart down,
Looks like it's done.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know at all until I actually did it myself.
And then, please enjoy the sweets together later.
That confection is also a type of fresh pastry called nerikiri.
You buy it every month too, don't you?
Even if purchased every month, seasonal items,
If it's cherry blossoms, then cherry blossoms, handmade by artisans.
Looking at it, I thought, "That's nice,"
While feeling the season,
Sweet desserts and bitter matcha.
I hope you enjoy it.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Please help yourself to the sweets.
It's delicious.
It's about how to drink it, you see.
I think the tea bowl is facing forward, with the design oriented toward me.
So as not to soil this,
Place it on top of your left hand after picking it up with your right hand.
And so, in order not to spoil this beautifully crafted artwork,
Please shift it two spaces horizontally.
Please drink it as is.
It's delicious.
Isn't it bitter?
It's bitter.
It tastes very delicious when it's bitter.
I have a certain image of matcha latte in mind when thinking about it overseas.
Maybe it's "Eh?"
Nowadays, it's like coffee and cookies, coffee and marine, you know.
The contrast is very strong.
Moreover, matcha contains a lot of vitamin C.
And while drinking this, you can also eat some snacks.
Finally, when finishing drinking tea,
There's a signal saying "I've finished drinking."
It was the last breath, making a sound, just the last one, making a sound,
That serves as a signal that you've finished drinking.
Please drink it slowly.
Thank you very much.
After finishing drinking, keep blowing on the part where you've put it in your mouth.
If I didn't have it, it would suddenly roll away.
If I don't have it, I'll return it.
The opposite direction, just now.
Place it back facing forward.
Since you went to the trouble of preparing such a beautiful tea,
Bending down like this to take a look.
Return to the origin.
Thank you very much.
We hope you enjoyed it.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have such a valuable experience.
And if you have the time, please feel free to ask as well.
I'm looking forward to it.
Because it changes every month.
It was very delicious.
It's sweet.
Because I love you so much.
Things like flowers also change.
We look forward to your reply again.
Thank you.
