The coolest Matcha Place in Town. It's a bit hidden, but as in harry Potter, the mystery really starts behind the wall. Really well made Matcha and the barkeeper is super attentive :)

Open the gray door to this unassuming, small bar to check if there is a seat. If not, you will have to wait outside until there is enough space for your party. There is one table in the back and a few bar seats, so it is best suited for 1-2 people. I tried the Strawberry Matcha Milk Ice Cream Float (¥1500). It was whisked in front of me. Both the ice cream and the drink were good; the matcha taste was present. A bit expensive, though. The bartender was nice. English menu available.

We had a lovely visit here to take a break from walking and sightseeing. The matcha was delicious and we liked the two seasonal drinks- pistachio matcha and strawberry matcha. The host was so kind and helped explain how to eat the dessert we ordered. The monaka was amazing!

I will never ever forget this matcha spot in shinjuku. Won over my heart with the best tasting matcha I personally had in my stay in tokyo. Tucked away in a corner strip alley. This gem was truly something needed for my soul. Atmosphere was excellent with the light jazz playing in background. I already had a feeling this place was going to be it. Simple menu with the best iced matcha latte I’ve yet to come across. Earthy, aromatic and a classy taste all in all. I simply fell in love with everything they had to offer. I had to inquire about the matcha they used and bought the doubled bag blend from the place. Was so good had to come bak the day after. The ONLY Con: they do open at 12pm so it was kinda hard to plan your mornings around if you are up and about especially as a foreigner for a short stay! Other than timing id never have a complaint against them! Id buy another ticket right back to japan just go have this matcha again!
