Queen of Cups

Dish: Crucian Carp and Tofu Soup

The Queen of Cups symbolizes the depth of emotion, the flow of the subconscious, and the power of inner intuition. She is the container of the soul, providing a space for experience to settle and intuition to surface, influencing the world through inclusion rather than action, and feeling rather than external power. In long stewing, the fish and tofu penetrate each other, forming gentle and delicate layers, bringing nourishment and warmth with a mellow and gentle taste. The lidded stew pot beside the soup bowl symbolizes the preservation and placement of emotions. At the same time, it means intuition, imagination, and emotion should be guided into appropriate containers to manifest their value. The background refers to the design of Norway's Under, a semi-submerged restaurant where you can see the seabed environment while dining. The slow currents and swimming creatures here are the externalized space of the subconscious. Look closely—the Knight of Cups' shrimp can be caught here, or finally gain freedom here.
