    Try the hibiscus tea! And don't forget to visit the ladies room for the authentic japanese toilet experience (sorry, men...I'm told there's only a regular american toilet in there...boring..)

    This casual, cash-only Japanese tea room is notable for its tea, but also for its desserts.

    It's easy to dismiss this place as just a cafe, but their savory offerings are really tasty too. Limited menu so definitely one for fans of real Japanese food. No substitutions.

    The ambiance is great/authentic! The tea/dessert was way below expectations. My White Peony tea was more astringent than white tea ever should be, and the sesame seed creme brûlée was not good at all.
