HARIO has created a completely new way of serving tea with its new clear lidless teapot.
The teapot substitutes a lid for a filter, allowing for you to place your tea leaves directly into the pot and not have to worry about any pieces falling into your cup. The spout is made from PCT resin which caters to high temperatures and gives it impact strength, heat resistance, and makes it transparent.
Clear Lidless Teapot: ¥2,000 (450ml) / ¥2,500 (700ml) (Before Tax)
As you pour the pot, the scent of the tea rises together with the steam. The pot is made from heat-resistant glass which means you can see the tea leaves as well as watch the colour of the water change. It’s made so you can enjoy every sip of your tea’s delicious flavour, right down to the last golden drop. Not only that, it’s also smart and stylish, so is sure to elicit a comment or two when you’re pouring tea for people.
Since you don’t have to worry about any leaves pouring out, you can try out all kinds of different teas, whether it be Japanese tea, herb tea, and so on. It’s great for iced tea too, especially with the weather warming up.
The teapot benefits from not being made up of many parts, so it’s super easy to clean—you can get right down into the corners.
Make teatime even more fun while you’re at home with this clever new invention!

White shaved ice with dark matcha topping is now available until mid-September, and guests are invited to adjust the taste by altering the amount of tea added.

The tea ceremony brand Saron was founded by Nakagawa Masashichi Shouten, in business since the Edo period–so it’s safe to say that the company knows what they’re talking about!
Guests can enjoy shaved ice made from pure Yamato ice, which is frozen for 72 hours, gently shaved, and topped with Nara’s Kasiya sweet bean paste, shiratama, agar, and condensed milk that has been boiled for four hours.

The pandemic has caused problems for people all over the world. Mental health has taken a beating over the last few years, and in order to help people take back control of their mental wellness, The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto will begin offering immersive meditation rooms for guests only! These rooms will allow guests to enjoy a soothing private space and will be available starting April 1, 2022. Blank meditation
tea mediation The Medicha meditation rooms consist of two spaces: ‘blank,’ where guests are surrounded by mist, and ‘tea,’ where guests will immerse themselves in beautiful water patterns. An original program shown on in-room televisions at the hotel will also instruct guests in the art of meditation. In ‘Blank Meditation,’ guests will stand in a cool mist and immerse themselves in layers of diverse sounds and shifting colors of light. This will help quiet the mind and create a ‘blank slate’ mentally. The ‘Tea Meditation’ room invites visitors to spend time with themselves while getting lost in shimmering water patterns in a dimly lit space as they carefully brew their own tea. Two types of tea are on offer, each with distinct aromas and flavors. Information

Established in 1716, Nara-based store Nakagawa Masashichi will release two types of open-air tea ceremony sets in limited quantities at its online store and select locations around Japan on April 6, 2022. The last time the shop released these items in 2020, they sold out instantly. The set is a collaboration with Snow Peak, a manufacturer of high-quality outdoor goods, and Salon, a brand attempting to get more young people involved in tea ceremonies by injecting the tradition with a modern touch.
The coating around the light and strong titanium teacup is made of a sturdy cotton canvas often used in outdoor tools. Each of the eight items in the set were made with the ruggedness of nature in mind while also preserving traditional beauty. The double set is a new addition to the lineup and includes two tea bowls and two confectionary bowls to make entertaining others more simple. Open-air tea ceremonies date back to the Muromachi period, and in the Sengoku period, it is said that tea was served in the mountains during the march of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. These ceremonies are traditionally less formal than the indoor version, so it’s easier for those new to the experience to relax and enjoy! Information
