Text description provided by the architects. Building use: monaka & tea A takeaway-only shop, based on the concept of “good things from Japan,” that suggests a modern way of enjoying tea and monaka (Japanese sweets consisting of wafers filled with sweet bean paste), which are deeply rooted in Japanese culture. The monaka are filled with the chef’s choice of seasonal ingredients for an image of beautiful bite-sized “fruits” that delight the eye and the taste buds, and the tea is made from carefully selected leaves that can be paired with each monaka and is poured each time from the pot, in a style allowing customers to carry it around like coffee.
