✨ A Unique Surprise at Our Venue?
We sometimes offer something a little unexpected…
“Drunken Calligraphy” (Suiken Shodō) is a unique, cultural experience
where you compare your calligraphy before and after enjoying a glass of sake.
How does your brush move when you’re focused and sober?
How does it change when you’re relaxed and a little tipsy?
It’s not an official program,
but if the timing is right, you might get to experience it!
This activity is offered irregularly. Please ask our staff for availability.
With every brushstroke, you’ll feel the depth and beauty of Japanese tradition. Add a touch of true “wa” (harmony) to your journey.
