A Blooming Wildflower
Valentine's Day chocolate from Komahime, with a light refreshment from Sen-no-Rikyu.
Apparently, Komahime was fed up with afternoon tea consisting entirely of matcha and forced Sen-no-Rikyu to switch Spirit Origins with her. Her matcha-brewing skills—which may or may not involve copious amounts of milk—left Sen-no-Rikyu in disapproving astonishment. The result is an expertly crafted matcha chocolate latte. The baked chocolate biscuits to the side make for a simple but comforting accompaniment.
On this Valentine's Day, let us savor each other's hospitality. Live in this moment, like a flower blooming in the wild.
