SALON DE MATCHA N | HATSUGAMA

Written By Maya Furuta

We kicked off the year with wonderful company and exceptional matcha. For this Chakai, Kyoko prepared an osechi-inspired Tenshin. Since one of our guests has a soy allergy, we challenged ourselves to create the entire menu without soy omitting even miso and traditional soy sauce.

A huge thank you to Julien and his team for providing Usukuchi shoyu which made from yellow peas! It was the perfect soy-free alternative.

What a special event! It was my first ever tea ceremony and I'm already looking forward to my next one. The hosts were incredible. They created a beautiful balance of making you feel right at home and immersed in a beautiful cultural ritual. I learned a lot. The food and matcha were wonderful. You can really tell the put a lot of time and care into creating this unique, fun and valuable experience. It's an absolute must do!
