Japanese Tea Ceremony - May 4th, 2024

Yumi Takahashi organized the Tea Ceremony at AUCA @myauca and invited Mrs. Goda Yuri, the spouse of the Ambassador of Japan to Kyrgyzstan, kindly presented about Japan and the traditional tea ceremony and demonstrated the making of the tea on the stage. Guests could taste Japanese tea from Mrs. Okawa, Mrs. Kinugawa, and Mrs. Haraguchi. Volunteers from the Japanese Club of AUCA and Yumi Takahashi's classes helped explain the steps involved in drinking tea.

The president of AUCA, Dr. Timothy O'Connor, made an opening speech, followed by Mrs. Goda's presentation. Afterward, guests were served dessert and tea, with six people in each turn.

Thank you, @japanemb_kyrgyzstan, for this beautiful cultural day and all the guests who joined the event!
