I have to say that the sound of the decor intrigues me. I hope to hear what you thought of that atmosphere. I think the surroundings are such an important part of the experience.

I love to see Japanese dessert shops open up in NYC, it makes me feel like I have a little escape back to my childhood, when my mom would take me downtown in Misawa, and buy me sweets. It creates a real sense of calmness for me.
Can’t wait to check it out!

I visited Kyotofu last night. The desserts were delicious!!! As were the cocktails, all made with shochu, japanese style vodka. I agree with Candace, the space is warm and hip - it’s good for a large or small group. Try the warm chocolate chestnut mochi cake and the sour cherry okayu rice pudding!

It’s open for business! Went there last night and had
a great time. The deserts were tasty and unique and
the saki and Japanese cocktail menu was extensive.
The place is hip but very pleasant, with
great lighting and seating.You could go in with one person or several and feel comfortable. It’s so nice to have a
place like this in the neighborhood..

Hi Malini– Sure, that could definitely work! The hardest part about using tea in a recipe is grinding it fine enough to be nice to eat. I use a powerful food processor and let it run for about 5-7 minutes, and then sift out the big pieces. You could also soak the fruit pieces in tea to get the flavor infused, then drain the tea and add the fruit to the recipe. Good luck and let me know how it turns out!

Hi Kelli, Do you think a tea spiced fruit cake for christmas would work?
