Kansai Event report
A look back at our Dinner Seminar at the Morikawa Salon:

This Thursday, July 16, we held an event that has been organized in years past with the Morikawa Clinic: a dinner seminar, this year themed around “The Art de Vivre.”
Participants gathered for a convivial evening at the Morikawa Lounge in Amagasaki, whose decor is inspired by the French elegance of the Marie Antoinette era. The event began with a presentation on the Art de Vivre, exploring various themes that highlighted the connections and influences between French and Japanese cultures.
During this presentation, the benefits of roses were highlighted: by using all of our senses, we can enjoy their many virtues, such as relaxation, improved circulation, and stress relief, among others. We can experience these blessings through a wide variety of products: beverages, jams, oils, and other rose-based preparations. Guests also had the opportunity to try several of these products during dinner.
The seminar then continued with a focus on the health benefits of tea. Ms. Morikawa shared her expertise as a Kampō Tea Master (herbal teas derived from traditional Chinese medicine). She highlighted the properties of various plants and how they can be used to promote everyday well-being.
In the spirit of this philosophy, Salon Morikawa will soon open its doors as a tea lounge. It will feature a space dedicated to exploring tea and rose-based products, in keeping with the "art de vivre" philosophy presented during the seminar.

Following this enriching presentation, a French buffet was served to the participants, who enjoyed refined cuisine while continuing their discussions. Conversations quickly became lively, fostering wonderful connections and a warm atmosphere that made this reception a particularly enjoyable occasion for exchange.

A big thank you to all our participants for their attendance and enthusiasm, we also warmly thank the Morikawa Clinic for its invaluable support and commitment to working alongside us in organizing this dinner seminar.
