Drinking of Matcha



The Matcha, you have the correct drinking as etiquette.

Daily, for that opportunity to get a full-fledged green tea, in the might not be there so much recently, it dissolved easily in hot water and water at home, feel free to drink type has come out many.

I think the opportunity to build your Matcha is that so rarely, but sweets shop and sweet far from, such as when you went to the inn, It is something that there is a chance to drink unexpectedly.

Although it is not bad to drink as you like green tea, if you master the correct drinking, put the way of Matcha to help you because on this occasion in an emergency, why not remember how to drink.

As a basic premise, is when you get the Matcha It let's not forget that it has with both hands.

Hold the bowl with both hands first, It carries up to hit before you are sitting with their own.

And, you can thank it with both hands.

This is like a ritual to put their gratitude to the dude who put the green tea.

Then have a bowl in both hands, and come to the front of the chest.

Then I turn to the front at twice the right hand.

You can drink Matcha for the first time to go up here, but rather than drink at a time, you can drink It in three times.

And when you are finished drinking, let's wipe so as to pinch the marked parts of the mouth in the right thumb and index finger.

Then, you can place the bowl to its original position the front by turning it over there twice in the right hand to come in front of him.

With a brief drinking how it will be this way, but when you together more easily, drink towards the front of the cup on the opposite side by the bow, after wiping the part wearing a mouth, the orientation of the cup It will be taken to that only revert to the original.

By schools, there are slightly different part, but basically do not have a big mistake and if taking this way.

Minimum It if you remember just this point, even if there is a chance to drink Matcha, you will be able to get correctly.

Even able to be praised you know the courtesy, so it does not lose money, women who you may remember especially.

It should be noted that, although there is also a person who only respect such etiquette is to Matcha, then you have also recently increased those who drink feel free to home in, as Matcha latte, also has increased those who drink coffee sense together with milk.

Correct drinking is also important, but that you get a delicious Matcha, it is important to entertain.

Matcha is not intended to be for the etiquette of the test, because it is that important feeling that they act as entertain opponent, is not considered informal, and try to enjoy even just yourself why not.

Matcha is I think many people not good if there is a unique astringency, but taste becomes very mellow by milk and sugar enters, it has become easy to drink in cafe au lait sensibility of Japanese style.

By the way, there is a "me," "latte" that are sold in convenience stores and cafes, but in fact I think it was you know the exactly the same beverage in only these different is words.

Calories of Matcha

Matcha is the tea that it can not be said that the unusual low-calorie beverages in Japan tea.

Japan tea, has been known as a drink that boasts a very deep-rooted popular as diet drinks.

It, not only because it is effective in component diet that is included in the Japanese tea, it is said to be effective if there is also that they equal to is almost no calories.

However, green tea is with respect to calories, roasted tea and barley tea, green tea, green tea, etc., both against the 5 kcal less per cup, green tea has become to approximately 15kcal and higher value per 100ml.

There are also differences by green tea, but that there are calories compared to typical Japanese tea no doubt.

The reason is, tea other than green tea, and to drink the extract from tea leaves, green tea will be in such a result because incorporation into the body that was the tea leaves into powder to direct.

Na this way what if you look only at calories green tea fattening? And might also be woven those who would think, but it does not have much to worry about in practice.

That there is a calorie, I can say that proof of that contains any ingredient.

The green tea, began a rich dietary fiber, vitamin K and retinol, contains such as vitamin E and folic acid.

Especially vitamin K, which can compensate for more than approximately 2 times the intake measure of the 1st from green tea per cup of.

To compensate for these nutrients from vegetables and other food is also difficult part, but you'll be able to capture easily so long from green tea.

It is a popular green tea also as candy flavors in recent years, but it has been said that there is also 324 kcal per 100g when used as edible.

However, it is to a very healthy compared to the chocolate and cream, it can be said with healthy food.

Actually there is some error about notation of calories.

According to the provisions of the Health Promotion Law, the calorie zero, making it the including the calories of less than 5kcal.

That is also what is described as "calorie", actually there are those that have a beverage calories.

What 0kcal display is will really that it is not calories but, this way calorie display does not have a big difference, you may notice that it is not an exact numerical value.

When you think of from that sort of thing, so you might also contain more or less calories in tea other than green tea, I think that there is no need to be aware of hypersensitive a very small amount of calories.

However, you can powdered green tea in latte, once put plenty of sugar, because that would become a high-calorie, that point would be better to have to drink while the acceleration.

Matcha is somewhat calories compared to typical tea can be found in high numbers, but more than that contains good ingredients and benefits to the body.

So, gain weight in only calories of green tea,, instead of to determine not fattening, including also such as sweets that get other nutrients and the green tea at the same time I think in may be the judgment of calories in total.

Heart of the tea ceremony will be important feeling to entertain caring partner.

Fine manners is also important, but the most important part is the one you want to remember.

When you enter the tea ceremony as etiquette is to enter and remove the ones made ​​of metal.

Only in antique tools, it is important to note that there are times when it will break even only hit the watch or ring.

Since the tea utensils is what important as treasure for the husband, and I think I hope that such ornaments are placed to avoid as much as possible as heart care for it.

When you get the Matcha, you received from your sweets.

It is fundamental that as possible to eat all before you drink the tea, but it is okay to bring back wrapped in kaishi If you do not eat all of them.

Turn the bowl so that the front does not come if you have a tea bowl.

Because basically will be the part where there is a pattern for the front, there is so always try to avoid.

Of that as possible to drink three times is the basic of manners, but let's be able to drink in a small number of times in the case that can not be drinking.

Before you get "I will receive tea ceremony." I think good is that.

It is basic to say "It was quite a tea ceremony." Is after you have finished drinking, but "you receive." "It was Thanks for." It does not matter.

Etiquette Each of the schools, so also depends on the teacher, and I think that it may be carried out in accordance with the people around you as long as it is a seat of such tea party.

Because it is okay if suppress even basic, and I would like to have fun and relax and not Kigamae.

Although such etiquette is it's better to have done well in the seat, such as tea ceremony, in a case where the time and friends you enjoying at home gave me vertical to feel free, you do not need to really care.

Eating from your sweets, if it can be even minimal manners, such as by properly greeting, but must discern the time and place of course, there is no better to really care.

There are cases where such handy Matcha seats such as department stores and events venue is provided, but it should not be necessary to make a formal manners even in such seats.

Feel free to is it important for that touch to the world of green tea and enjoying the green tea, if it can be even heart of hospitality is a basic, tea and I think I can enjoy it in peace.

If you put this way even suppressed the basic, tea etiquette is not too difficult. So young people also I think I would like you to feel free to touch the world of green tea.
