Located in central Osaka's Shinsaibashi district, we invite you to this exclusive Ochasēki (Honorable Tea Gathering) to deeply immerse yourself in the supreme aesthetics of the Japanese Tea Ceremony (Chadō).
The session is hosted by a professional Tea Master from the Omotesenke school, with instruction available in Chinese, English, and Japanese. The Omotesenke school is the foremost among the Three Houses of Tea, recognized for its orthodox style, having historically served the Imperial Court and nobility.

Exclusive Serene Time: Savor your private tea time within the quiet elegance of our Japanese-style (Washitsu) room.
Savor the Five Senses: Engage all your senses with the rich flavor of the tea, the grace of the sweets, and the exquisite craftsmanship of the utensils.
