Success at Furetsuro and Grandier
On May 13 and May 22, 2026, 'ZEN TEA BREW,' a craft tea cocktail by dozo Inc. (Headquarters: Shizuoka; Representative: Kohei Miura), was selected as the toast drink for two prestigious ceremonies in Shizuoka Prefecture. On May 13, it was served as a welcome drink at a gathering of 45 media executives from across Japan, held at the historic Furetsuro in Shizuoka City. On May 22, the brand was showcased at the 'Cherry Blossom Queen Welcome Ceremony' held at Grandier Bouquet Tokai, serving the National Cherry Blossom Queen and the Japan Cherry Blossom Queen along with their guests.
Redefining Tea for Modern Socializing
ZEN TEA BREW proposes a shift in how tea is consumed, moving away from the traditional image of 'tea for solitary enjoyment' to a new concept of 'tea for communal toasts.' By combining the spirit of hospitality and conversation inherent in the tea ceremony with the sociability of spirits, the brand offers a modern experience. Their core product is a DIY kit that uses premium Shizuoka tea leaves, fruits, and spices, which are simply extracted with spirits to create a refined tea cocktail.
Expansion of Corporate and Event Services
Following these successful events, dozo Inc. is now scaling its consulting and catering services for corporate anniversaries, weddings, international receptions, and shareholders' meetings. Services are highly customizable, including tea leaf selection (green, oolong, black, and rare varieties), extraction styles (bottled or glass-served), non-alcoholic mocktail options, and the deployment of English-speaking staff.
Aiming for the Global 'Tea Alcohol' Market
ZEN TEA BREW is actively expanding globally. With achievements such as obtaining US FDA certification and winning the top prize at the UC Berkeley SkyDeck, the brand aims to establish 'Japanese Tea x Alcohol' as a global beverage category on par with wine and whiskey. Capitalizing on the rise of the Sober Curious movement and international interest in Japanese ingredients, the company is determined to create new consumption scenes for Shizuoka tea.
