Kissabō · a Japanese tea bar in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin

Private tea omakase

The counter is yours for an evening, after the room closes.

Omakase, お任せ, means leaving it to us. Up to five of you sit at the oak counter, and we choose what is poured: four acts, one after another. The opening glass is usually fruit, clarified; everything after it is tea. What is poured changes with the season, and so do the sweets: some evenings one act arrives with something made that morning, some evenings every act does. Every pour is alcohol-free.
