Enjoy a new tea experience, a fusion of tradition and modernity
"GEN GEN AN" operated by EN TEA is a modern version of "Chaya" "GEN GEN AN Phantom" that creates a new way of enjoying tea leaves by fusing tradition and modern culture from November 28, Ginza Sony It will open on the first basement floor of the Park. In addition, along with the opening, we will release new products of "Nichicha" to drink in the morning and "Tsukicha" to drink in the evening.
■ The first is a collaboration between tea and Western confectionery, and experience new tea
EN TEA is a brand that makes tea more accessible. We will not only provide our special tea, but also increase the number of scenes with tea. The challenge of EN TEA is to bring the tradition of tea and the scene where tea has been used into the present age, and "GEN GEN AN illusion" is to open as a place to express it.
"GEN GEN AN Phantom" offers a new tea experience and the daily "ma" that is born from it. Inside the store, there are devices that allow you to enjoy tea time through your five senses, such as visuals, music, and aromas. One of the features is the seasonally changing “tea confectionery” such as Western confectionery and chocolate, which are new attempts. We also plan to collaborate with various creators and brands regardless of genre.
Ginza is a place where many people come and go and time passes in a hurry. It is a modern version of the teahouse where you can feel the tea close to you and give you a "pause" depending on the time you drink tea.
