NOURISHMENT
FOR MIND, BODY
& SOUL
Shou Sugi Ban House's culinary
philosophy is born from the belief
that true health is grounded in nature,
and food is medicine. Meals are
designed by chef Mads Refslund, a
co-founder of Noma in Copenhagen,
the four-time winner of the World's
50 Best Restaurants and two-time
Michelin star recipient. Along with a
resident nutritionist, he has created
balanced and hyper-seasonal menus
that are inventive, plant-rich, and
locally-sourced. A tea lounge invites
visitors into the ceremonial world
of teas, tonics, and elixirs, allowing
for individual consultations and
customized creations. e curated
menu offers 25 different types of tea,
including a custom Shou Sugi Ban
House herbal blend created with
Catskills-based company Tay Teas,
hand-craed teas from Southampton's
Plain-T, and several green teas,
including Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha,
and Bancha from Kyoto-based Ippodo
Teas, which has been providing the
highest quality Japanese green tea
for nearly three centuries.
