Tea ceremony at Shinjuku Gyoen

 Tea room  Garden of the tea room  Docomo tower remind me we're still in Tokyo  Left twins with friends, Renfield and I went to Shinjuku Gyoen to attend a tea ceremony that one of my friends from work was performing. We had 薄茶 which is a weak green tea first on a bench, then 濃茶 which is a thick tea on tatami. We dressed up in kimono just to enjoy the whole thing, despite the fact we don't know the rule of tea ceremony. The friend was in kimon, who's been learning this tea of 小堀遠州流 Kobori enshu ryu for more than 10 years now. Thank you very much for the invitation!

Sweet lunch at Starbucks after typhoon
