Morning Tea Ceremony & Breakfast
Breakfast Tea Ceremony
Start your morning at a private tea house with a traditional tea ceremony and a simple Zen monk’s breakfast.
In this rare and intimate offering within the world of tea, Tea Master Eriko Okubo warmly welcomes you to her private tea house, where the day begins with a quiet awakening of the senses.
Hidden within a tranquil Kyoto neighborhood, the morning unfolds in the serene atmosphere of the tea house. Here, you will first enjoy a seasonal breakfast inspired by the mindful simplicity of Zen monastic cuisine, thoughtfully prepared to reflect the beauty of the season. Following breakfast, a traditional tea ceremony is delicately paired with wagashi, traditional Japanese confectionery, where each element comes together to express the harmony of nature and the quiet elegance of simplicity.
This seamless progression from breakfast to tea is known as asa-chaji (朝茶事), the Morning Tea Ceremony. Rarely experienced outside private circles, it offers a unique opportunity to encounter the tea ritual in a more intimate and immersive way. To take part is to witness the tea ritual in its authentic form. It is a fleeting moment of stillness within the rhythm of Kyoto.
