Japanese Tea Ceremony

The Japanese tea ceremony is not simply about offering tea to guests. It is about providing an opportunity for fully appreciating the current season--whether through the colors of the kimono one wears, the motifs of the confectionery served with the tea, or the aromas produced by the tea that one pours. The activity offers guests an opportunity to gain a deeper appreciation of Japanese hospitality. The featured tea bowls and whisks have been created exclusively for HOSHINOYA Tokyo by an artist; guests are allowed to keep them.
