Tsukimasa Shimokitazawa

Stumbled upon this place and the matcha tea and red bean dessert cake taste so wonderful. So happy to have gone. Bought the 2nd-grade matcha powder here

Such a lovely and calming place to take a break. At the entrance you’re first greeted by a cute turtle and then by the friendly owner, who later very conscientiously prepares your tea. We’ve really enjoyed our time here! You can also buy tea and tea utensils here.

The owner is very helpful in explaining different kinds of tea and how to drink them. I had the special gyokuro that was served in a small tea cup. All tea arrive with hot water to refill and your selection of a small snack. Perfect quiet atmosphere and gentle classical music to relax to. You can also buy a selection of tea leaves from this store.
