In this ceremony, the chasen is placed into glowing charcoal, gently burned, and returned to nature while we offer a moment of gratitude. Watching it glow and fall into ash is quietly moving and beautifully symbolic.After the ritual, we’ll share a bowl of matcha outdoors in a simple nodate setting, welcoming clarity and renewal for the year ahead.A peaceful, meaningful way for matcha lovers to end the year together!Sincerely,Tea Master Yoshitsugu NaganoLocation:Brooklyn Bridge Park, The exact meeting point within the park will be shared with participants once confirmed.What to Bring:If you have any tea whisks (chasen) you wish to offer for the memorial, you are welcome to bring them — and there is no limit to how many you may bring. Please note that bringing a chasen is optional.All participants are kindly asked to bring a matcha bowl (chawan). It does not need to be formal; any ceramic bowl that fits comfortably in both hands is perfectly suitable.Weather Note:In the case of rain or other inclement weather, the event may be canceled. If so, all payments will be fully refunded.A final decision regarding weather-related cancellation will be made by 5:00 PM the day before, and all registered participants will be notified by email. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/8aaac6d0-cdc3-11f0-bb67-fb6d397f1b16-rimg-w987-h740-dc141e2f-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/8ae44d60-cdc3-11f0-be5f-030581adf78c-rimg-w987-h740-dc454f5a-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/8b3e7b50-cdc3-11f0-b6d4-af84bbdedf18-rimg-w987-h740-dc15151a-gmir.jpg Agenda?: 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM1st Session?: 12:45 PM - 01:15 PM2nd Session?: 01:30 PM - 02:00 PM3rd Session?: 02:15 PM - 02:45 PM4th Session?: 03:00 PM - 03:30 PM5th Session - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ny/nodate-in-nyc-matcha-whisk-memorial-gathering-2025/100001975884383380 - **Event Categories**: meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fnodate-in-nyc-matcha-whisk-memorial-gathering-2025-tickets-1975884383380 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 35, max: 35, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: NY - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5 - **lat**: 40.7022472 - **long**: -73.9958582 - **full address**: Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5, 334 Furman St, NY, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Yoshitsugu Nagano (https://allevents.in/org/yoshitsugu-nagano/17808140) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/f54b61faea60553d8925df8ac3608cd6a12f90f4361369959c26f440032aaf5f-rimg-w1200-h598-dc5c6064-gmir.jpg?v=1764490035 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/e3de6b0290af6a618c900af0e86688169124914923086e50f23db3ba0ff10e2d-rimg-w400-h400-dc161e29-gmir.jpg?v=1764490034 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening?
