Our tea ceremony offers a rare opportunity to slow down in a quiet seaside village, where guests can experience Oriental tea culture in a peaceful setting. Every session is carefully curated, combining tea, story, and calm hospitality to help guests reconnect with themselves through the art of tea. Guests are also invited to enjoy a selection of unique teaware, each piece selected to enhance the mood and atmosphere of the experience. In East Asian tradition, tea was often enjoyed alongside poetry, painting, and calligraphy — the gentle arts cherished by tea lovers. Drawing inspiration from this cultural heritage, our ceremony includes a calligraphy activity where guests can express their tea experience through brush and ink. This thoughtful practice not only adds a creative dimension to the session, but also offers a tangible keepsake that captures the spirit of stillness and reflection.

We only harvest and use vegetables from March to October at the rooftop garden. This is because the weather is cold from November to February. We have a class while watching the chef's demonstration. We learn 2 dishes. We make tofu stew with soft tofu and Korean pancakes with vegetables. We also make dipping sauce. We eat after we make it.

This experience is not simply about arranging flowers, but about understanding the deeper aesthetics behind them.

It also concludes with tea, allowing you to gently transition from creating to a state of calm.
