JIHE HOTPOT · SINCE 2014

When the steam begins to rise,
everyone sits a little closer.

Our work begins with a good pot of broth, honest ingredients and the belief that a meal should make room for people to be together.

SCROLL TO OPEN THE POT

FROM A POT TO A TABLE

A memorable flavor never happens only at the moment it is tasted.

It begins with balance in the broth, continues through the condition and timing of every ingredient, and is completed by the people who look after one another around the table.

Steam rising from a quiet pot of golden broth
Broth receives the sweetness of vegetables, the richness of each ingredient and the time shared at the table.

THE QUIET CENTER

Good broth does not need to shout. It gives every ingredient a voice.

Rich or light is only the beginning. Temperature, time, sequence and the way a broth changes through the meal are what slowly create depth.

FROM CRAFT TO HARVEST

Lee is one person’s craft. Harvest is what a whole table takes home.

From professional kitchens to the hotpot his family loved, Chef Lee built JIHE around a simple promise: if it is a meal for family, no detail should be treated casually.

The name leeharvest.com carries a wish for everyone who leaves our table—that family may feel whole, hard work may find its answer, and life may bring a harvest of its own.

BRING A WARM TABLE TO YOUR CITY

If you believe a meal can bring people closer, perhaps we should talk.

Begin with your city, resources and expectations. An honest first conversation helps both sides see the next step more clearly.
