Yukei Salon de Thé

In 2007, the owner of the top-end Tawaraya inn designed this tea salon. It’s a serene spot, with classical music and a moss garden. It’s more modern than you might expect from the historic inn. Walls are art-gallery white, the furniture is Danish and the shelves hold art tomes on subjects like Eames furniture and graffiti. The drinks (green tea, earl grey, coffee) are first class.
