Japanese tea brand "dipitea" (led by Ruriko Kojima) will hold a special one-night event "Reframing Tea" to rediscover the profound charm of tea and savor it with all five senses on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at the restaurant "NiNi" in "1 Hotel Tokyo," Tameike-Sanno, Tokyo.
This event will feature carefully selected rare new teas, gyokuro, and original tea cocktails from across the country, along with a special dinner exclusively for this occasion. The theme, "Reframing Tea," reinterprets tea not as a traditional craft but as "contemporary sensibility," delivering a special night to harmonize mind and body.
◾️ Why "Tea" Now? What "dipitea" Values
dipitea redefines tea as an "essence that colors our daily lives and gently harmonizes our mind and body in the modern era." The brand originated from the founder, Ruriko Kojima's, own fascination with the world of tea, leading her to visit tea farmers nationwide and experience the depth of tea leaves cultivated with passion.
This event is a new initiative by dipitea, which typically operates without a permanent store, traveling to different locations to create unique seating experiences only available "at that time" and "in that place." For this occasion, they have prepared a special one-night dinner set against the backdrop of "1 Hotel Tokyo."
◾️ Menu (Tentative)

◾️ Message from the Organizer (dipitea: Ruriko Kojima)
Since becoming fascinated with the world of tea, I have held a desire that I've always wanted to bring to life.
Tea is a wonderful traditional culture, but it is by no means a thing of the past. It is also an essence that gently harmonizes our mind and body and colors our daily lives. For this event, we have prepared a special night to rediscover its profound charm and experience it with all five senses. On the day, you will enjoy a special dinner exclusive to this occasion, along with rare new teas, gyokuro, and creative tea cocktails from across the country. I believe this experience, which sharpens the five senses, will connect to the future of the tea farmers who cultivate tea leaves with passion. I would be delighted if we could share a moment of tranquility brought by tea together. I look forward to connecting with all of you.
