LUYA

“LUYA” refers to the tenderest new buds on the tea plant, representing new life and hope. We chose this name to reflect our philosophy: every dish is as pure and delicate as a tea bud, full of vitality. We cherish and respect the nature and the essence of ingredients. Through Japanese Omakase, we aim to offer you a journey to celebrate the gifts of nature, and taste the purity and delicacy of ingredients.
