Chiayi's Hori River: Savoring Romance in a Cup at Hori River Tea Ceremony
Auto-TranslationTea ceremonies, desserts, artisans, Showa era charm, and old Chiayi come together to create a collection of classic sweets. Opened in 2022, Hori River Tea Ceremony has quickly established itself as a standout star on Wufeng South Road, meticulously reinterpreting the essence of both Eastern and Western styles.
Hori River is an old place name from the Japanese occupation period in Chiayi. The "Hori River Tea Ceremony," which opened in early 2022, takes its name from this historical site and offers local Taiwanese tea, Japanese Uji matcha, and exquisite desserts that blend Eastern and Western styles. This name beautifully encapsulates the spirit of revitalizing local Chiayi while paying homage to the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship.
Located in Chiayi's East District, "Hori River Tea Ceremony" is nestled in a tranquil residential area just a ten-minute drive from the train station. Its perfect distance from the city adds a sense of leisurely detachment from the hustle and bustle. The shop is housed in a century-old Showa-era building. As you push open the wooden door, you are greeted by a traditional Japanese wooden lattice entrance and a walnut-colored shoe cabinet. The cement gray walls are complemented by simple dark wood accents, while a warm light illuminates a treasured antique—a metal scale from the Taisho era in Japan, which seems to smile at guests as it watches the passage of time.
