This tea room opened in 1980 by Toraya, the famous Japanese pastry brand, is a small wonder even if the decor has been redone in a more Western spirit. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most refined places in the Capital, as do the staff, very chic and a little stuffy. The Parisian branch, redesigned by Sylvain Dubuisson, offers a relaxing atmosphere that perfectly matches the traditional pastry shop (wagashi in Japanese). Made from rice flour, wheat, agar-agar and beans, the Japanese pastry shop, created a thousand years ago, is a hymn to the beauty of nature, and Toraya also offers delicacies that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. In spring, you must succumb to Tô-Zakura, a small flowery truffle of white and pink vermicelli, in summer you melt for hana-ôgi, a range in white jelly, in autumn you get enthusiastic about kozue, and in winter you warm up with a usagi-man, a small white rabbit. Inseparable from pastry, Toraya offers a wide range of green teas, including the divine gyokuro.

When we arrived, the atmosphere was incredibly quiet, with individuals studying or reading alone, making the soft bird soundtrack almost the only sound in the room. It created a serene and calming ambiance, though later, as more people arrived, the space became livelier with conversation. The service was exceptionally polite and kind, and the minimalist Japanese decor added to the tranquil experience. A wonderful place for tea, sweets, and a moment of quiet in the city.
