Matcha shops in Tokyo
2 shops serving japanese tea in Marunouchi.
Ippodo Tea Shin-Marunouchi Store
MarunouchiTokyo Station10 min
Kyoto's 300-year-old tea house with a tasting counter at the back of the Marunouchi store. Order a flight of two grades of matcha and compare against the same wagashi. Excellent option for travellers who want to learn the language of grades quickly — staff will sketch the harvesting and grinding pipeline on the paper coaster if you ask. The leaf-tea wall opposite the counter sells starter tins clearly labelled by intended use, which makes onward gift shopping easy and unintimidating.
Saryo Tsujiri Marunouchi
MarunouchiTokyo Station10 min
Quieter sit-down sister of Tsujiri inside the Marunouchi Building, designed around a long counter and warm wood tables. Set menus pair grade-graded usucha with wagashi shipped weekly from Kyoto. Good for travellers who want the formality of a tea room without the strict etiquette of a chashitsu — staff will explain the temperature, whisk angle, and bowl on request. Lunchtime queues move quickly because most guests stay 35-45 minutes for a full set rather than ordering individual drinks.
