Cherry blossom tea room

The Tea Room is in the Japanese style with contemporary elements. The mood is a relaxing Asian with oriental lights, accent of vibrant colors to energize guests, and wooden minimalist furniture. The student Club provides Japanese tea savoring, Tea ceremonies, and board games playing. The ceiling height is quite low, so we created a light dome in the focal point of the Tea room.

There are different seat areas for any choice - cozy soft boots, free standing tables, and bar stools. The main view of the restaurant is divided with a host stand which is an Instagram shot area as well.
