"Take a break from Osaka’s boisterous energy at Wad, a Zen-meets-hipster teahouse run by Takehito Kobayashi and his young staff. The tea masters ask you to choose a bowl crafted by local artists, and they’ll fill it with your choice of leaves. Pair a sencha with grilled mochi glazed with soy sauce or a bowl of kakigōri (shaved ice) topped with matcha or red bean. With its minimalist decor and relaxed omotenashi (mindful hospitality), Wad brings the essence of the Japanese tea ceremony to the Instagram age." - La Carmina, Michael Sosnick
