Definition
茶室 means 'teahouse' — a place where tea is served, often in a traditional or cultural setting like a 茶道 ceremony. In older or literary usage it can also refer to a brothel, but this sense is now rare and mostly appears in historical texts. Be mindful of context when you encounter the word.
