Expanding the Ki-Setsu Philosophy: Tea Room by Ki-Setsu
At Sushi Masa by Ki-Setsu, we have long championed the philosophy of singular craftsmanship, cultural authenticity, and unwavering dedication to tradition. Today, we are honored to share that this same ethos now extends beyond the realm of omakase to embrace another ancient art form: the refined ritual of Chinese tea.
We are pleased to introduce Tea Room by Ki-Setsu, the Ki-Setsu Group’s newest expression of traditional excellence, and Singapore’s most luxurious destination for authentic Chinese tea.
A Parallel Pursuit of Authenticity
Much like our approach to sushi, where Chef Masa personally sources premium ingredients from Toyosu Market to honor the omakase tradition, Tea Room by Ki-Setsu maintains the same uncompromising standards in its pursuit of tea excellence. There are no middlemen, no shortcuts; only direct relationships with source and an unwavering commitment to quality.
The tea leaves come from limited harvests of ancient tea trees in Yunnan, China specifically from the misty highlands of Bulang Mountain. These are not mass-produced leaves, but rare, hand-selected treasures that reflect centuries of cultivation and the unique terroir of their origins.
Where Craft Meets Vessel
Just as the knife work of omakase represents generations of refinement, so too does the presentation of Chinese tea demand vessels worthy of the ritual. Tea Room by Ki-Setsu showcases high-end, wood-fired tea wares from Jingdezhen’s kilns; each piece one-of-a-kind, shaped by flame and the skilled hands of master artisans.
These vessels are not merely functional; they are expressions of artistry that elevate the tea experience, much as our carefully selected dishware at Sushi Masa honors each piece of nigiri.
An Invitation to Slow Down
Tea Room by Ki-Setsu operates by reservation only, welcoming guests into our private tea room where time slows and every detail is intentional. It is a space designed for those who appreciate the beauty of restraint, the depth of tradition, and the quiet luxury of undivided attention; values that resonate deeply with the Omakase philosophy we practice in our sushi counter.
We invite you to experience this new chapter in the Ki-Setsu journey, where another ancient tradition is honored with the same dedication to authenticity, craftsmanship, and singular excellence that defines everything we do.
