Sushi snob?

At Wabi Sabi Palm Springs you’ll feel like an ancient warrior or princess as you host a fun-themed dinner, or simply choose refined items that will have others guessing you’ve recently returned from an exotic vacation overseas!

Thirsty for Sake?

The technique behind this beloved drink may surprise you! The full flavor of the Junmai Ginjo is airy and smooth on the palate due to the polishing process which grinds the outside of the grain of rice to reach the desired center. American hot Sake, which most of us are accustomed to, usually has a high level of added distilled alcohol which results in an inferior taste. High quality Sake can be enjoyed with diverse chow! Nigori Sake is sweet and perfect for a poolside mixed drink. Try out their tasting bar, take a bottle home or join others for a Sake and cheese pairing. Or, if Sake still isn’t your thing, opt for a Japanese beer!

Need a caffeine boost?

Traditional tea and coffee, with all of the extras. Icluded in this is the Siphon coffee maker utilizing specialized vapor pressure to brew – can be yours sans airfare. Coffee dates have become a modern day form of socialization and connection in Japan. They host coffee and tea tastings for your next visit! Perhaps, tomorrow?

Come home with vibrant pieces of modern Minoyaki tableware or a collection of Shun knives from Seki City. Custom-made for over 800 years. Choose beautiful chopsticks, clothing, fans, jewelry, Bonsais, or skincare products.  The list goes on. Or a book on Japanese Living – luxurious for the coffee table!
