Experience Details
Even in a city as busy as Tokyo, you can enjoy serene pockets of contemplation. One such place awaits in downtown Harajuku, a place so tranquil it's easy to forget that the bustling Takeshita-dori Street is just a few streets away. The dark, silent interior of Jinnan House restaurant is the setting for this unique experience, where guests are invited to trade the morning hustle for a meditative Zen tea ceremony with a tasting of several tea varieties and foods.
Let your mind be at ease while an English-speaking tea master prepares and brews tea for you to enjoy with food pairings. This tea, made from single-origin leaves sourced exclusively from Mt. Ryuso, a remote region in Shizuoka Prefecture, is a testament to the quality and uniqueness of Japan's prime tea-producing areas. You will enjoy it in five different ways:
-Enjoying a refreshing cold brew with ice to bring out the umami
-Sipping tea brewed with hot water, which is more bitter than cold brew
-Pairing brewed tea leaves with ponzu (soy sauce with citrus juice), a delicious mix of quintessential Japanese flavors
-Roasting tea leaves to make hojicha (roasted green tea) and enjoying them with a scoop of ice cream
-Drinking freshly roasted hojicha
The aromatic richness of these leaves adds an extra layer of delight to your experience. After the tea ceremony, you will receive tea leaves as a souvenir to relive the taste of this tea anytime. Once the experience ends, explore nearby attractions like the Meiji-jingu Shrine, one of Tokyo's spiritual hearts, and Takeshita-dori Street's many cute cafes and creperies. Harajuku's combination of quiet spiritual sites and exciting, bubbly cafes and shops make it a unique place to visit in Tokyo.
