Based on the concept of Parisian taste

GREEN VEIL opened in 2000. With the concept of "Paris taste", the roots of this restaurant go back 23 years when the owner, Ms. Shoko Hibi, spent time in Paris.

Ms. Hibi started her flower career in her early twenties. After gaining experience in flower shops and bridal shops, I went to France to see the flower shops in Paris at least once before opening my own shop. There, he had a chance encounter and decided to work at a local flower shop.

Ms. Hibi:She was a wonderful owner who taught me step by step how to make arrangements and bouquets from morning till night.

During the days spent in Paris, she was greatly inspired.

Ms. Hibi:“The style was completely different. Twenty-three years ago, the mainstream in Japan was red roses with baby's breath at that time, but the gradation of colors was beautiful, and the display was not just placed there, but had a world view. I was impressed by the matching of the old building and the addition of antique accessories and furniture."

Ms. Hibi: "I couldn't forget the splendor of the moment I stepped in, and I wanted to create a flower shop that would make you feel as if you were in Paris."

The store name is said to have been named "florist GREEN VEIL" with the desire to create a space wrapped in a green veil.

Since then, he has traveled to France every year to purchase miscellaneous goods and antiques. All the miscellaneous goods in the store are carefully selected based on Mr. Hibi's aesthetic sense.
