Muji eatery tweaks food offerings

The housemade sukiyaki sauce, full of umami flavors, and with a lightly sweet twist, also gets top billing.

You may need some convincing to try cold tea in a harsh weather, but if anything will do the trick it is the sublimely thick and smooth feel of cold-brewed lime and mint jasmine tea (40 yuan) with its naturally sweet taste.

It's a simple blend of fresh mint leaves, lime slices and jasmine tea, together producing a floral, fragrant scent with a luscious and refreshing feel in the mouth. The other two choices of the signature cold brew tea series are phoenix meizan tea and iced kalamansi jasmine shaken tea.

In line with Muji brand's similar style, the restaurant features a calming and minimalist decor with its pale wood tables, green plants, the clean-lined layout, tableware and cutlery.
