Galerie d’Okeya is more than a boutique—it’s a cultural offshoot of Okeya Kyujiro, the Michelin-starred omakase restaurant helmed by chef Takuya Matsuda. Set on Bishop Street, the space introduces Japanese traditions through curated goods and seasonal fare, along with workshops in tea ceremony, kimono dressing, and ikebana floral design.

It’s also a low-key lunch spot that serves donburi, onigiri, and temaki made with the same precision and sushi rice mastery that built Okeya’s reputation. In colder months, a steaming bowl of oden—a comforting broth filled with fish cakes, egg, and daikon—is on offer. For something sweet, their matcha dessert sets let you whisk your own ceremonial-grade matcha, paired with wagashi. It’s an unexpected hybrid: part cultural centre, part casual eatery, part retail experience. Whether you’re after a beautifully packed bento or curious about Japanese rituals, Galerie d’Okeya offers a quiet, thoughtful way in.
