What to Expect

Guests will have the pleasure of tasting a special nine-course ochazuke meal, crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Each course will be paired with a distinct tea, showcasing the aromatic delights that Tokyo Hanadaen has to offer, including award-winning sencha.

Moreover, the event will feature a tea demonstration by the distinguished Jumpei Hanada from Tokyo Hanadaen, during which he will prepare the featured new teas right in front of you, allowing you to appreciate the delicate flavors and the importance of water temperature and quantity in tea making.
