株式会社V and 鹿児島製茶 will create Japanese tea world assets for VRChat. They will also plan a debut event on VRChat to coincide with the launch in October 2026.
株式会社V will work with 鹿児島製茶 to create Japanese tea assets for worlds on VRChat, the immersive social VR platform. The launch is scheduled for October 2026, with the aim of introducing Japanese tea culture to younger generations.
The experience, known as the “tea gimmick,” recreates the series of motions involved in boiling, cooling, brewing, pouring out the tea and clearing away, based on the proper brewing method proposed by 鹿児島製茶, a tea-leaf producer.
The experience includes cooling water boiled over an alcohol lamp, adding tea leaves and water to a teapot, and waiting 60 seconds, among other actions. Users can also enjoy ripples on the water's surface and changes in the tea's color. Instructions will be included in both Japanese and English.
Future plans include holding a debut event on VRChat and exhibiting at TOKYO AVATAR GATE, a digital fashion marketplace.
鹿児島製茶 is a tea producer founded in 1947, while V has a track record spanning multiple projects as a VRChat partner company.
