Dinner Tea Ceremony

Spend a summer evening at a private tea house with a traditional tea ceremony and a seasonal meal.

In this limited evening experience, Tea Master Eriko Mikubo warmly invites you to a private tea house hidden within a quiet Kyoto neighborhood.
The night unfolds in gentle ritual and starts with a seasonal shi-dashi meal, specially prepared in the tradition of tea and accompanied by selected Japanese sake. Following dinner, savour a traditional tea ceremony held by candlelight with wagashi (Traditional Japanese confectionery) and matcha.
Reflect and wonder as stillness descends and time slows down. This sensory journey from meal to tea forms the Night Tea Ceremony – an intimate opportunity to experience this authentic ritual, typically reserved for invited guests and seldom available to the public.
