Visited a tea house the other day. Took me awhile to figure out their system - diners enter their name and number in their party in a book (which is not obvious to the uninitiated). Your party
is called when a table is available; which for this popular place took about 45 minutes. I was the only non-Asian, one of only a few men and the only single diner so it was a bit awkward; I think the staff and other guests didn't know what to make of me:)The setting includes an adjacent art gallery and garden; perfect for enjoying the combination of bitter tea and sweets:)
I had Gyokura tea and sticky rice dumplings in a warm kinda bean paste soup; forgot the name. Evidently this place is pretty famous and I now understand why:)
