Private two-person tea ceremony and chef’s table
A private tea-house encounter for just two guests
Yamazushi Tea House / Majin-An
George and Mayumi Yamazawa offer a private Japanese tea ceremony for two guests on selected seasonal dates. Their separate chef’s-table page explicitly describes a multicourse pescatarian meal as part of this experience. A firsthand interview documents the purpose-built tea room, distinct from their former restaurant.
Current location note / listed area: Durham, North Carolina · venue confirmed on inquiry
Very limited, inquiry-only scheduling; pages differ between monthly and a few dates per season. The hosts’ published interview says dietary preferences and allergies cannot be accommodated. Confirm the current venue, access, seating, ceremony, meal pairing, ingredients and date directly. This is not a larger-party or wedding offer, and the former restaurant’s service and future expansion plans are not included.
