This past weekend, we celebrated a milestone that still feels so surreal—our One-Year Anniversary. It was such a beautiful day, and we’re still feeling the love and energy from everyone who came out to support and celebrate with us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey.
Over the past year, Isshiki has grown from a passion project into a space that brings people together through the love of matcha, community, and culture. We couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you who has supported us along the way. This anniversary wasn’t just about looking back—it was about celebrating how far we've come and everything that’s ahead.
A special thank you to Summer Water for keeping the vibes flowing with their delicious rosé wine, and to Balmuda for supplying their beautiful kettles for our matcha ceremony and offering amazing raffle prizes for our guests. Your generosity made the day feel extra special.
We didn’t just celebrate—we made some big announcements too! We’re so excited to introduce our brand new Ready-to-Go Matcha Lemonade Sparkler, created in collaboration with our friends at LuckyOx. It’s refreshing, vibrant, and just in time for spring and summer sipping.
Of course, no celebration would be complete without pulling out all the stops:
At 11:30am, we kicked off with a matcha ceremony demonstration led by our founder, Angel and matcha teacher, Kumiko. It was a grounding and beautiful way to begin the day. We had people try it out as well.
At 1pm, we were blessed with a lion dance performance—a powerful symbol to usher in another year of prosperity, abundance, and joy.
To everyone who has visited us, shared a cup of matcha, told a friend, or supported us from afar—thank you. You’ve made Isshiki what it is today, and we’re so excited for what’s next.
Stay in the loop by joining our email list or following us on our socials—we have so much more coming your way, and we can’t wait to celebrate future milestones with you.
With love and gratitude,
The Isshiki Matcha Team 🍵💚
