About Mochi Rin:
凛 Rin
Rin is a Japanese word that suggests the crispness or the elegant tension in one’s state or appearance. It’s a very fitting word for describing the fresh gracefulness of traditional Japanese cuisine and confectionery. At mochi Rin, we present a new type of mochi that doesn’t quite exist in Japan, by infusing New York’s locally-sourced ingredients into Japan’s popular traditional dessert — the stuffed mochi rounds, such as daifuku and sakura-mochi — and mixing in rin, the element of restrained grace.
About Sorate:
Sorate’s mission is to provide the world with the perfect harmony of science-based wellness practices and traditional Japanese plant-based medicine to enrich the body, mind, and spirit. In Japan, green tea is part of a ritual experience centered around meditation—a state of mindful consciousness and tranquility, at Sorate we focus on that experience that complements the well-known health benefits of green tea. Our passion for tea is founded within health and wellness.
Omotesenke style tea instructor:
Keiko Kitazawa is an instructor of the Omotesenke-style tea ceremony and has tea ceremony classes in New Jersey, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. Keiko also holds public tea ceremonies in NYC's Globus Washitsu on the third Sunday of every month. Her belief is that everyone will Sympathize and live with a spirit of tea ceremony which is "WA-Kei_Sei-Jyaku", Harmony, Respect, Purity, and Tranquility. She hopes that the heart of the tea ceremony will make the world peaceful.
