Hello Neighbor!

We are Inochi, the new tea house + wine bar on the block.

Inochi is a space for your matcha ritual before your day begins, the toast of champagne after it ends, and the “let`s just drop in for one” that turns into discovering your new favorite sake (spoiler: it might be Yuzu).

We are here because we love connection. Real connection. The kind that happens when you slow down, sip something delicious, and actually allow yourself to receive all the best things life has to offer.

Mission Hills, we can`t wait to connect with you. We will be pouring, serving, and celebrating with you very soon at our grand opening!

We asked our founders irl what excites them most about Inochi and this is what they said:

“What truly excites me most as a business woman is innovation. I get so lit up when I envision our space and our business model knowing it has never been done before in the San Diego market.

Our ability to exist within the intersection of luxury and wellness, our ability to be serving the finest tea, wine, and sake, our intentionality with design...it gives me butterflies!

Oh, did I mention we are flying in our matcha from royal farms in Japan!?”

-Molly Behunin

“The community that is going to emerge. To have a space that represents our values as founders knowing we will draw in people who share those same values.

All of the high vibration conversations that will come. All of the friendships and business relationships rooted in wellness that will come from it. Most of all, what is exciting to me is serving the community.”

-Brandon Bergado

“Expansion. Yeah...the expansion of it all.

Being able to feel held and to offer a space that holds people.”
