“Omoshiro-an” teahouse in Sendai City prides itself on the philosphy of being “a teahouse open to anyone to casually drop-in!” Mr. Kotani, the tea master, strives to spread the enjoyment of Japan’s tea ceremony as widely as possible, and to bring ‘Date culture’ – a unique culture established by Lord Date Masamune (himself a patron of culture like the tea ceremony) – into the modern age.
Omoshiro-an actively welcomes international visitors to experience the tea ceremony.
Recently they have even held classes where guests can practice the tea ceremony while enjoying English conversation.
We hope even first-time tea ceremony participants will feel welcomed by our hospitality as you discover the enjoyment of this ancient art.
