When you guide everyone into the store, the art on the wall catches your eye.

The three shades of green are used to create depth, and the lighting adds shading.
When you take a seat, you will melt into the atmosphere of the restaurant.
table and elbow chair.
This is a Scandinavian-born chair that blends in well with the modern atmosphere of Kyoto's tea factory.
The table uses lacquer and persimmon tannin to create a Japanese-Western atmosphere.
Lacquer is also called JAPAN in English, and persimmon tannin has been used in tea making for a long time.
The table expresses the fusion of Japan and tea.
The shop is nostalgic and nostalgic, and makes you feel extraordinary.
