Saitama, Japan｜RAFU

It’s a place where you can truly enjoy tea 🍵 the staff are very friendly and it has a gallery at the second floor where you can see artists works. There is a warm water pot for customers to pour themselves and brew the tea leaves it in the way the prefer.

Good tea and desserts (both Japanese and western). Really lovely atmosphere and always a really nice exhibition on the second floor. They also sell lots of handmade pottery and there’s an old tea shop right next selling tea, teapots and such. Both are old Japanese houses, so the smell of wood is enchanting. I only wish they got rid of those annoying mask signs they put on tables. Enough is enough.

Hidden gem in Saitama. Many local Japanese housewives come here and hangout during the day. The dessert is good n they specialize in tea. Lovely owner !
