Celebrate the beauty and grace of the Hina Doll’s Festival at our Japanese Tea Ceremony on Saturday, March 22nd. This cherished event invites you to immerse yourself in the elegance of Japanese culture and the timeless tradition of tea ceremony, where harmony, respect, and gratitude take center stage.
In Japan, the Hina Doll’s Festival, or “Hinamatsuri,” honors the well-being and happiness of girls and young women, while celebrating the arrival of spring. Adorned with exquisite Hina dolls, the ceremony creates a serene and joyful space for reflection and connection.
During this special gathering, we will serve Sakura Mochi, a delightful sweet that embodies the beauty of cherry blossoms, alongside traditional dishes like Chirashizushi (Scattered Sushi) and Clam Soup, which symbolize good fortune and the celebration of life. Together, we will share these offerings as we honor tradition and welcome the blossoming season.
