About Us — Oukado

Rooted in Tradition, Crafted with Care

Oukado is born from a love of Japanese beauty, tradition, and craftsmanship. We offer select, high-end items — from the highest quality ceremonial teas to handcrafted tea candies and fine chasens — each reflecting centuries of Japanese artistry.

A Personal Journey

I started Oukado during a time when I was feeling lost in life, seeking direction and meaning. Returning to my roots and embracing the rituals, care, and elegance of Japanese tradition gave me purpose. Oukado is my way of sharing that journey, connecting the timeless wisdom of Japanese tea culture with moments of everyday joy.

Our Philosophy

At Oukado, we believe that quality, purity, and artistry go hand in hand. Each product is handcrafted or carefully curated, honoring the meticulous techniques passed down through generations. From single-origin Uji matcha to carefully roasted hōjicha and delicate tea candies, every item is made to bring elegance, mindfulness, and authentic Japanese heritage into your life.

Experience Oukado

Oukado is more than a brand — it is a bridge between tradition and modern living, a way to savor beauty, craftsmanship, and authenticity in every sip or bite. We invite you to explore our curated collection and experience the luxury of Japanese tradition, reimagined for today.
