Key points of this table setting

1. Cool and Sweet Summer Vibes

This table setting aims to provide a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The transparency of the glassware from Hirota Glass and the fine designs of Mino ware add an elegant touch, showcasing the natural beauty of the tea and enhancing a sense of freshness.

The exquisite nerikiri, traditional Japanese confectionery, is crafted to reflect the unique characteristics of each season. For summer, we have selected nerikiri in serene shades of aqua blue, tender yellow, and light green.

These delicate sweets are placed on the Hibino Ecume Mino Ware Round Plate, which features a matte finish reminiscent of sea foam, creating a visually refreshing experience.

The RINKA Usuki Houhin Japanese Teapot, engraved with delicate petal patterns, creates a gentle ambiance on your dining table. It is perfect for slowly steeping tea, allowing the flavors and colors to bloom.

The green Hirota Four Seasons Color Edo Glass Sauce Plate and the matching ochoko sake cup can be used separately or together, to serve the chilled Japanese tea. The texture of glass and light green hue beautifully harmonize with the iced green tea.

The Mino Ware kobachi bowl with its elegant gold accents exudes a sense of refined luxury. Lifting the lid reveals matcha anmitsu, a delightful combination of sweet fruits and red bean paste balanced with the slight bitterness of matcha. 

2. Elegant Transparency of Hirota Taisho Roman Series

The Taisho Roman Glass series by Hirota Glass features intricate designs created using a revived age-old technique. The milky white patterns resemble delicate veils draped over the glass, giving this series a romantic and gentle ambiance.

The charming and rounded Hirota Taisho Roman Tokusa Edo Glass Single Flower Vase, creating a misty, ethereal effect, complements the overall ambiance, making it a beautiful addition to your dining table decor.

Adorned with patterns symbolizing growth and prosperity, the Hirota Taisho Roman Tokusa Edo Glass Bowl pairs well with desserts. The Tsubame URBAN Matte Finish Tea Spoon, with its fluid lines resembling flowing water, adds an extra touch of elegance to the ensemble.

Savor this bright and hot summer together with the fragrance of iced green tea and the sweetness of traditional Japanese confections!
