The shape of taste,” the hotel “OMO5 Kanazawa Katamachi (Omo) by Hoshino Resorts”, a “city center” hotel where you can fully enjoy your trip in Kanazawa, will hold the “Kanazawa KOGEI Night Salon” year-round from April 22, 2025, where you can enjoy Kaga bocha (*1) in a space decorated with traditional crafts from Ishikawa and Kanazawa. During the evening hours, this content is exclusive to guests, where you can enjoy tea brewed right in front of you by hotel staff along with Kanazawa tea sweets in a space that uses traditional crafts from Ishikawa and Kanazawa, such as Kanazawa leaf and Kaga mizuhiki crafts. While listening to the history of Kaga Bocha and the particularities of each tea shop, you can compare two types of tea with different
characteristics and enjoy the differences in color, aroma, and taste. In addition, traditional crafts are used for the tea utensils, and you can experience their charm by actually using them. *1 Hojicha is roasted tea stems. (Reference: Ishikawa Prefecture Tea Commercial and Industrial Cooperative Association Home Page) Background Ishikawa Prefecture’s tea culture flourished during the Edo period under Toshitsune Maeda, the third lord of the Kaga domain, and by the Meiji period it became one of the country’s leading tea producing regions. Kaga bocha was created by a tea merchant in Kanazawa who researched ways to effectively utilize tea stalks that are no longer needed in the green tea production process, and it is said to have become a popular tea among people (*2). In addition, traditional crafts, furniture, and works of art were actively created by encouraging samurai and commoners to practice Noh and tea ceremonies. Even today, that culture has been passed down, and traditional crafts have become more closely integrated into people’s lives (*3). Furthermore, with Kanazawa City’s Declaration of the World Crafts City (*4), Japanese crafts began to be expressed around the world by the word “KOGEI,” which also has an artistic meaning. Therefore, at OMO5 Kanazawa Katamachi’s “Local Rhythm Night (*5)” we decided to offer content that allows you to experience the charm of Kaga stick tea and traditional crafts, which are rooted in the lives of local people. *2 Reference: Ishikawa Prefecture Tea Commercial and Industrial Cooperative Association Homepage “Kagabocha” *3 Reference: Kanazawa City publication “-Traditional beauty and techniques that live on today- Kanazawa’s traditional crafts” *4 Reference: Kanazawa City Official Homepage “City Declaration” *5 Reference: [OMO] “Local Rhythm Night”, an event where you can spend a wonderful night time, will be held nationwide under the OMO brand Features of “Kanazawa KOGEI Night Salon” 1 Taste the tea brewed right in front of you by the hotel staff along with Kanazawa tea sweets The hotel staff, who received guidance from a long-established tea shop in the neighborhood, will explain the history of Kaga Bocha and the specialties of each tea shop, while offering two types of freshly brewed tea and Kanazawa tea sweets. By comparing teas, you can enjoy the differences in color, aroma, and taste depending on the roasting time and the part of the tea leaves used. The offerings change daily, and the designs and flavors of the tea sweets change depending on the season.

We manufacture and sell Japanese tea with a focus on quality in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture. We collect high-quality raw materials from all over the country and work every day on research into roasting techniques to bring out the fragrant aroma and individuality of each ingredient. 2 Performance using traditional crafts from Ishikawa and Kanazawa The space decoration was created using traditional crafts such as Kanazawa leaf and Kaga Mizuhiki work, demonstrating the high level of skill of each craftsman. Based on the unique Japanese aesthetic sense “wabi-sabi”, we express the designs that express the texture and artistry of each craft. In addition, we have collected traditional crafts such as “Kutani ware”, “Wajima lacquerware”, and “Paulownia crafts” for tea utensils, which are perfect for enjoying tea and Kanazawa tea sweets. By seeing them up close and actually using them, you can experience the charm of each craft and the delicate techniques of the craftsmen. We want our customers to feel the charm of traditional crafts through each element that creates an evening experience.

The basic process is “wrapping” with washi paper, “tying” with mizuhiki, and “writing the recipient’s feelings with a calligraphy brush.” Kaga Mizuhiki has now been passed down to five generations, continuing to evolve Mizuhiki while preserving and passing on the essence of Mizuhiki.
