T.T," a comprehensive art space by Taiga Takahashi, a contemporary artist based in New York, was born on Hanamikoji Street in Gion, Tokyo. Mr. Takahashi says that living abroad has made him rethink his own Japaneseness and Japanese culture. Recognizing once again that the culture of chanoyu (tea ceremony) is the beginning of all Japanese culture, he decided to create a tea room on the second floor of "T.T." under the name of "Shikarumi" (beauty of nature).
Original cocktail Hanagazama, based on matcha green tea with the flavor of shiso leaves. The menu changes monthly, starting at 5,500 yen for chakaiseki.
