What to know about Japanese tea. Photo credit: byfood.com Tea ceremonies are an essential component of Japanese culture, and customs play a significant role in the lives of all Japanese citizens. They are taught to Japanese people from an early age, including children adhering to their first customs and regulations before they can walk or speak. Japan is a popular tourist destination because of its unique personality, which is preserved via tight adherence to old traditions. The nation’s culture is a fascinating and perhaps perplexing dichotomy, and for foreigners, what the Japanese consider normal might be rather bizarre and even alarming. Throughout Asia, tea has been revered for over 15 centuries. Many individuals now consider ceremonial tea drinking to be a spiritual practice and a national asset. The performance of these rites in Japan, a nation whose ceremonial tea culture has established itself as a norm, will be discussed in this article.

Emi Yamasaki is an incoming graduate student pursuing a Master's in Higher Education and Student Affairs at the University of Connecticut (UConn). A 3rd/4th/5th generation Japanese-American born and raised in the SF Bay Area but with ties to Southern California, Hawaii, and Japan, Emi is constantly learning about different facets of her complex identity. She hopes to build the confidence to one day write and submit a story and share some of her many experiences as a Nikkei growing up in America.
Growing up in the South Bay, Kaori Nemoto became intimately familiar with Nikkei grocery stores, outings to Little Tokyo, and the rhythm of the Japanese American community. As the daughter to shin issei and nisei parents, she felt deeply curious as to how changes in the relationship between Japan and the U.S. have transformed the Japanese American community over the past century. She hopes to build on her understanding of Japanese American history through the 2025 Nikkei Community Intership program facilitating her joint intership with the Japanese American National Museum and the Japanese American Bar Association. Kaori graduated with a B.A. from Soka University of America this year, and she will be pursuing her J.D. at Georgetown Law School in the fall. In the future, Kaori looks forward to building bridges between recent Japanese immigrants and Japanese American history and giving back to the Japanese American community that has allowed her to engage freely in her cultural heritage.
