Taste of Tea with Kyohei Sugimoto

This year's public opening for Behind the Shoji was extra special as we had Kyohei Sugimoto here from Sugimoto Tea sampling his top-quality teas.

Be sure to check out Sugimoto Tea's many prestigious awards in Japan and abroad, and stop by Behind the Shoji where Sugimoto Tea is sold!

There's something new at Behind the Shoji! As a special feature of this year's show, the Garden will be open for special late hours (7-9pm) every Thursday evening during Behind the Shoji. We're calling it Sunset at Shoji and offering visitors a chance to stroll through the Garden in the summer evening and peruse the wonderful art at this year's Behind the Shoji exhibit. We're even leaving the Garden Gift Store open.
