ZENSOUTEA will be giving out samples of our Sports Tea at the marathon this October! We look forward to seeing you there!

Do you know what a tea room is for?

From the Muromachi to Azuchi-Momoyama period, the tea ceremony was popular among warriors and nobles, and in Sen no Rikyu’s era, tea gatherings became vital social occasions.

Back then, tea gatherings were more than just a cultural pastime; they were key settings for business and political deals, where rulers exchanged information, formed alliances, and merchants built connections with lords.

After studying design in the UK, I moved to Germany and have spent the past 20 years working internationally. With a focus on connecting Japanese culture with Europe, I launched a Japanese dining business when Washoku was recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. I provide comprehensive support, from concept development and recipe creation to interior design.　Currently, I am working on new projects that adapt traditional Japanese techniques for European companies, helping to pass this culture and craftsmanship on to the next generation. Our mission is to share the beauty of Japan with the world.

Comming Soon！

We've been working on a new platform called CraftKai, connecting outstanding craftsmanship between Japan and Europe.CraftKai is more than a booking platform. It is a curated destination where craftsmanship, culture, and human connection come together. Connecting Japan and Europe, the platform enables visitors to discover authentic workshops, book unique craft experiences, and connect directly with remarkable makers and their stories.

We are promoting our tea at marathon events, introducing participants to the appeal of cold-brew tea. We will also be actively participating in many marathon events this autumn. Our promotional activities have started with giveaways.

A team of Japanese carpenters will arrive in Berlin this autumn, bringing with them traditional techniques to transform modern spaces—renovating restaurants and creating raised tatami rooms that blend Japanese sensibility with Berlin living.

We have started importing and selling cold-brew tea from Miyazaki. Sales are available through restaurants and online. We have also launched promotional activities at retail stores.
