From August 15 to 17, you can immerse yourself in an authentic Japanese experience without leaving Buenos Aires, as a hidden Japanese house in Palermo opens its doors for an afternoon of Asian cuisine and an orchid fair.
For three days, you’ll feel as if you’re in a corner of Japan, surrounded by flowers and plants and enjoying the traditional sweet treats of Japanese cuisine.
In a hidden townhouse in Palermo: the secret orchid fair with Japanese coffee and free admission
On the first floor of a building in Palermo, there’s a space that perfectly blends Japanese tastes and flavors in a hidden townhouse. It’s called Casa Tsuji, and this long weekend it’s hosting a new edition of an Orchid Fair for collectors and curious visitors who want to enjoy an afternoon surrounded by spectacular flowers, expert advice, and traditional Japanese cuisine.
During this Japanese-themed weekend, you’ll find more than 100 varieties of orchids on display and for sale directly from growers to you. The fair coincides with the peak blooming season for Cymbidium orchids, known for their striking flower spikes and vibrant colors, so you’ll be able to see them up close and in all their splendor. This fair is often held in collaboration with Ogata Orchids.
If you have orchids, at the free orchid clinic you can bring your questions, photos, or concerns about the condition of your plants so that experts can teach you the best tips on watering, lighting, and repotting.
For this orchid fair , there’s no better setting than this townhouse that doubles as a tea house, so in addition to discovering the world of orchids, you’ll be able to complement your experience with traditional flavors from Asian pastries.
Casa Tsuji operates as a specialty coffee shop and Japanese pastry shop that celebrates traditional recipes (with familiar touches like Katsudon inspired by grandma’s recipes) served with the care, respect, and delicacy of Eastern art.
