The menu
Not an afterthought. The soba-cha closes every service, and the sencha opens the Ozashiki.
Two teas
Steeped at seventy degrees for fifty seconds. Grassy and sweet, and it wakes the palate rather than filling it. Served before the Ozashiki kaiseki.
Uji
Roasted buckwheat, no leaf, no caffeine. It closes every service alongside the tamago, and it is the last thing most guests remember tasting.
Uji
Hatsumomiji has sent us tea since the room opened. It is the only supplier that has never changed.
