We hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
I am pleased to announce a New Year Tea Kaiseki Gathering on Sunday, January 11 beginning at 1:00 p.m. Please arrive 15 minutes early.
Chakaiseki is a traditional Japanese meal served before a tea ceremony, celebrating seasonal ingredients and the beauty of simplicity. You will enjoy a special tasting connected to tea ceremony traditions.
The $125 registration fee will be donated to recovery efforts for the Noto Peninsula, affected by the earthquake and tsunami on January 1, 2024. I recently visited the area again and felt a strong need to continue supporting the community.
For those who would like to participate in last-minute cooking preparations, please arrive at 11:00 a.m.
Kindly bring an apron, beret, and hand towel. Seating is limited, so please sign up as soon as possible.
