Come and enjoy the Winter and Summer Tearooms with the Teas of Urasenke, Omote and Omote-Sei-Ha schools. Both have benches for those who prefer, and we will have plenty of room on the tatami for those who enjoy kneeling. This month we're delighted to announce the completion of our Mizuya (Tea Kitchen) thanks to the help of Mr. Yousef Ghasemi.

For more information on reservations, read below.
