This monsoon, step into a serene sensory journey at Donmai, a Modern Japanese Izakaya Restaurant located in Worli, as it unveils its latest offering, a vibrant new matcha menu that celebrates the quiet power of ritual, flavour, and nourishment. More than just a drink, matcha at Donmai becomes a moment to pause, reconnect, and be present. To mark this special launch, Donmai invites guests to experience an intimate face yoga and tea ritual session with Amy Kim, She is a Korean-Taiwanese Canadian yoga teacher with over 7 years of experience in Mumbai, known for her calming Hatha flow sessions that blend traditional practice with modern nervous system care.
“At Donmai, we believe that tea rituals hold within them centuries of wisdom — slowing down, sipping mindfully, and reconnecting with self,” says Ish Patil, Founder of Donmai. “Our new matcha menu isn’t just about taste. It’s about how a cup of matcha can make you feel — rejuvenated, restored, and refreshed. From tropical indulgence to forest walk nostalgia, each drink is an emotion, a memory, a tiny ceremony in itself.”
The matcha menu is a bold, expressive, and vibrant tribute to Japan’s most iconic tea, remixed with Donmai’s signature flair. Expect creamy textures, playful ingredients, and flavour combinations that surprise, soothe, and satisfy.
