Mumbai eatery reveals adventurous matcha-focused menu, incorporating a spiritually enriching wellness practice
Donmai, a modern Japanese izakaya restaurant in Worli, Mumbai, has recently launched a calming matcha menu and a unique wellness ritual event. This sensory experience combines traditional tea rituals focused on mindfulness, reflection, and living in the moment.
The event, taking place on July 19 from 4-6 pm, is more than just a tasting session. It's an immersive experience that includes soft movements, breathwork, and the consumption of soothing ceremonial-grade matcha. The highlight of the event is an exclusive face yoga and tea ritual class led by Amy Kim, a Korean-Taiwanese Canadian yoga instructor based in Mumbai.
The class aims to calm the nervous system, firm the face, and nourish radiant skin through gentle movements, breathwork, and matcha consumption. As a special gift, each attendee will receive a bottle of Aminu’s Radiance Face Oil to help extend their self-care routine at home.
The new matcha menu offers whimsical ingredients and unexpected flavor pairings, embodying the soft strength of ritual, taste, and sustenance. Highlights of the menu include Mango Amai, Shiro Coco, Aozora Breeze, Cinna Mori, Ichigo Cloud, Ringo Cha, and Shinju Pop.
In a recent article, the health impacts of street food and ultra-processed food were compared. The findings suggest that street food is healthier than ultra-processed food, with street food offering a healthier alternative. Ultra-processed food, on the other hand, is linked to obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.
Ish Patil, Donmai's founder, believes that tea rituals hold centuries of wisdom. He sees this event as a celebration of matcha as a holistic wellness practice, encouraging people to slow down and reconnect with themselves.
