Live like a local in Asakusa- through food, home cooking, and matcha.
Our homestyle healthy set meals feature a main dish of meat or fish, accompanied by several small side dishes, pickles, fermented brown rice, and miso soup.
Try our food, which uses fresh, seasonal ingredients to make bright colours and a balanced diet.
Afterwards, experience an authentic tea ceremony.
As a practitioner trained in the Urasenke Chado tradition over 30 years, I will prepare matcha for you, and guide you in making your own bowl. Unlike a tourist-style performance, this is a genuine moment of hospitality and tradition.
