O Cha & Shu Rui (Tea & Sake)
Now let’s start a quick cultural journey to the Far East on the other side of the globe!
Imagine a sunny mid-autumn afternoon in the garden in the Showa period, a group of friends gathered for the chosen herbal tea in a crystal clear teapot to fully expose its beauty, whereas another circle exchanged their insights on the ripeness of the local fruits, which added the exquisite flavor to their sakes and cheered for the great year !
While waiting for the food to come, definitely give a try of our herbal tea to invigorate your body or a bottle of Japanese sake served in our handcrafted sake sets to infuse your spirits. Immerse yourself in the moment and the best food is minutes away !
​
Joy
Simple yet elaborated is our tenet. We have upright piano, novels for individuals and TOYS for kids ! Definitely let the kids enjoy themselves at the Mrs. Charles Children's Corner and give the parents a moment to peacefully enjoy a pot of our specialty tea !
​
Art & Music
If you are an appreciator of contemporary art and music, you will definitely have a surreal dining experience surrounded by your favorites ! We have the honor to present you with the work from Canadian Artist Judy Major-Girardin.
