Our group held a moon-viewing tea ceremony at the Seattle Japanese Garden in celebration of the year’s harvest moon on September 13. We served our guests traditional Kyoto style otsukimi-dango, which are white dumplings made with rice, and matcha tea. We also taught them about the history of the moon-viewing in Japan. Our guests especially enjoyed the pensive atmosphere of the tea room lit by candles for each of the three seatings (6:15, 7:15, and 8:15 pm).
