Tea & Omamori: A Modern Hatsugama Experience
Tea and Omamori
Step into a serene space where tradition meets intention. This unique event blends the timeless ritual of Hatsugama — the Japanese first tea ceremony of the year with the art of creating your own Omamori, a personal charm of protection, wishes, and mindful energy.
Begin with the ceremonial preparation of freshly whisked matcha, savoring its vibrant color, aroma, and delicate flavor with mindful presence. Guided by the principles of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility, you’ll learn to prepare, observe, and drink matcha with intention, while reflecting on the past year and setting intentions for the one ahead.
After tea, channel your focus and creativity into crafting a personal Omamori, carrying your wishes, blessings, or goals beyond the session. Seasonal sweets complement the tea, and ambient touches of modern design and gentle music create a relaxed, contemporary atmosphere while honoring tradition.
This immersive experience is perfect for anyone seeking mindfulness, reflection, and a meaningful start to the New Year, combining sensory appreciation, cultural insight, and personal intention in one unforgettable ritual.
Duration: Each tea discovery lasts around 1 hour, giving you the perfect balance of tasting and quiet enjoyment.
Pax: The tea discovery is priced individually. For multiple guests, please purchase the matching number of seats.
