Japanese Tea Dinner - 53 Stations of Tokaido Road

*this event is happening on two dates: April 29th AND 30th — 4PM-9PM
Join Chef Richard Witting and Tea Master Ben Youngbaer at Setting Sun Teahut for a unique tea and food pairing. These events are the third in our four-part exploration of the old Tokaido Road, famously illustrated by Japanese printmaker Utagawa Hiroshige.
Each dinner takes us further along the Tokaido as we visit the next 13 stations—from bustling Hamamatsu, home of the famous Tokugawa Ieyasu, to the Shinto festivals of Miya. Together we will reflect on each of these stations, the season, and the history of the road while enjoying 13 tastings of japanese tea, food, and drink.
