A beautiful bicycle was mistakenly delivered to our shop!

The owner is probably very worried, so we’d really appreciate it if you could help share this post🙏

To verify ownership, we’ll ask you to tell us the brand and color of the clothing that was included in the package!

We believe dining is an experience for all the senses - taste, smell, and sight. 🌿 We are honored to welcome 'Homecoming' by .gangaev to our space. Part of her Connection collection, this piece is inspired by views from above that lead us back to where we belong. With its deep, textured greens, this painting isn’t just decoration; it brings a frequency of calm, balance, and renewal to the room. It’s a reminder to pause, breathe, and connect - with nature, with yourself, and with the people at your table. Come by to experience the new energy in the room.

【Exciting News📣】

Hi, everyone!

After our successful evening with Gensaka Shuzo last time, we’re excited to bring back this special event format but this time with Tsuji Honten from Okayama, in collaboration with Otemba Sake.

On October 1st (International Sake Day!), we’ll welcome Soichiro Tsuji, 7th-generation brewer of Tsuji Honten, to share the story of his brewery. He’ll talk about their modern take on the ancient bodaimoto method and their dedication to brewing exclusively with Omachi rice, the pride of Okayama.

After the talk and Q&A, we’ll gather around the table for community-style dinner paired with a wide selection of Tsuji Honten sake. What’s the perfect way to celebrate International Sake Day together other than this?

Tickets: €100 (only 30 seats!)
Includes the presentation, dinner, and all sake pairings.

Please let us know of any allergies and dietary requirements beforehand.

Hope to welcome you all 🍶
