Higashiya Ginza
GinzaGinza Station5 min
Contemporary wagashi salon on the second floor of the Pola Ginza building. Tea-and-sweet pairings feel like a tasting menu — refined koicha, single-portion namagashi, dim lighting, careful music. Best matcha-with-sweets experience for guests who want a calm setting after a busy morning. Reservations open one month ahead and weekend afternoon slots disappear within hours, so plan early. The seasonal wagashi rotation is the heart of the menu and changes every two weeks, often telegraphing the next subtle shift in season.
HIIRAGI Ginza
GinzaGinza Station4 min
Hiiragi occupies a back street behind GINZA SIX as a curated Japanese sweets shop with a six-seat hinoki counter tucked inside. The draw is a kakigori technique that blends premium Uji matcha through the ice itself rather than pouring syrup over the top, so the flavour holds to the last spoonful; it arrives under condensed milk and black-sugar cream. Each item in the matcha-zukushi set, from the shaved ice and latte to the financier and a plum-wine-spiked terrine, uses a different tea leaf, so the set doubles as a tasting. With only six seats and a 10% eat-in service charge, it rewards an off-peak visit.
IPPUKU & MATCHA Nihonbashi
NihonbashiMitsukoshimae Station1 min
Billed as the world's first single-origin Uji matcha specialist, IPPUKU & MATCHA sits at ground level in Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower, directly outside Mitsukoshimae exit A8. Rather than blending, it pours unblended matcha from individual cultivars and single tea gardens, all hand-picked first-flush leaf grown under the 400-year-old honzu shading method and finished on stone mills. What looks like a casual tea stand at the front conceals a small tea room behind it, where a tasting of two matcha served in Edo-kiriko cut glass with sweets is the signature order; reservations are recommended for that room. Terrace seating handles takeaway, and a foreign-language menu is available.
Jugetsudo Tea Shop & Cafe
Higashi GinzaHigashi-Ginza Station1 min
Run by Maruyama Nori, a seaweed house founded in 1854, Jugetsudo's Ginza branch sits on the fifth floor of Kabukiza Tower facing the theatre's rooftop garden. Kengo Kuma designed the space, dividing it with irregularly pitched bamboo screens and angling the ceiling to echo the garden eaves, roughly 3,000 bamboo stalks in all, producing a grove-like calm directly above one of Tokyo's busiest crossings. The counter and terrace serve sweets made with the house matcha alongside nori-based sandwiches and light dishes, and the shop runs tea experience courses covering sencha brewing and matcha whisking. A retail corner sells tea, nori and Kabukiza-only souvenirs.
Kagurazaka Saryo Honten
KagurazakaIidabashi Station5 min
The original branch of Kagurazaka Saryo hides down a stone-paved alley off the Kagurazaka slope, in a converted townhouse whose timber interior still reads as a private residence. Teas are drawn from producers across Japan, including Uji's long-established Marukyu Koyamaen, and brewed by specialist staff. The signature saryo parfait layers matcha pudding, hojicha ice cream and crisp puffed rice, while seasonal work runs to matcha fondue, shaved ice and a mont blanc piped in thread-fine strands. A full savoury menu of obanzai and dashi udon means it works as lunch as much as dessert. Sixty seats, open until 22:00, and no reservations taken.

AsakusaAsakusa Station4 min
Kaminari Issa is an お濃茶 (rich matcha) sweets specialist in Asakusa, listed at 1-20-1 Asakusa in Taito City and described on its own Instagram as running a Nakamise-dōri shop plus a matcha experience shop and a koicha tea salon nearby.

AsakusaAsakusa Station12 min
Shizuoka-rooted specialty bar inside the Shibuya Stream complex. Single-origin matcha and roasted hojicha served as flights with tasting notes printed on small cards. Bright, modern bar seating and English-speaking staff make it friendly for serious tea-curious tourists. The on-site roaster releases freshly-roasted tencha most afternoons. Order the matcha flight first, then the hojicha latte to feel the contrast between freshly-stone-milled matcha and the roastier baseline of their hojicha line — a good vertical for understanding the green-to-brown spectrum.

Matcha Passport Tokyo
ShimokitazawaShimokitazawa Station3 min
A second-floor matcha bar on Shimokitazawa's Ichibangai shopping street, opened by Kantaro Fumoto and Robert Rudini and supplied by Shizuoka tea producer Marushichi Seicha. The draw is a rotating list of single cultivars and blends named after Japanese folk creatures, including Komainu for umami, Tanuki for a nutty profile and Reiyo from Aichi for balance, which staff will talk through before you order. Beyond the signature latte there is usucha, Earl Grey and strawberry versions, and a burnt matcha cheesecake. Bilingual staff make it one of the easier matcha specialists in Tokyo for visitors.

AsakusaAsakusa Station8 min
The second Japanese outpost of MATCHAMON, a Kyoto matcha-stand brand whose first shop sits near Nijo Castle; the Asakusa branch opened on Hanayashiki-dori in April 2026. The house rule is that only Japanese-grown matcha meeting international quality standards goes into the drinks, served from a compact ground-floor counter on the lane running between the back of Senso-ji and the old Hanayashiki amusement park. It opens at nine, earlier than most of the neighbourhood, which makes it a workable first stop before the temple grounds fill up. The launch was marked with a self-whisking matcha course paired with daifuku by the mochi artist FEUWA.

Matsubaya Saryō / Hakobune Gallery
AoyamaOmotesando Station6 min
A dark, easily missed frontage on a Minami-Aoyama side street hides a tearoom built around bonsai and cedar. Behind the noren, candle lanterns throw root-like shadows across concrete walls, warmed tea leaves smoulder in a chakouro, and the room runs quiet enough that the street disappears. The menu is short and tea-first: matcha and sencha in the morning, hojicha latte later, sake in the evening, with the matcha latte the drink most visitors come for. A counter at the back offers a tea-ceremony seating for a per-person charge. Reservations can be made through the shop's own site.

Counter-only seating and reservation recommended at weekends.

Re:Route CAFE Jiyugaoka
JiyugaokaJiyugaoka Station2 min
A basement tea cafe two minutes from Jiyugaoka station that treats Japanese tea as something to drink, eat and do. Matcha sits alongside sencha, gyokuro, hojicha and wakocha, brewed in a kyusu or poured into wine glasses to open the aroma, with the same leaf served at different temperatures to show how sweetness and astringency shift. The sweets are built from tea rather than flavoured with it: a tea terrine, a tea bonsai, a moss-garden dessert. Bookable workshops cover whisking matcha yourself, roasting your own hojicha and shaping nerikiri wagashi. Drinking and eating need no reservation; the hands-on courses do.
SACYA Matcha Cafe Stand｜Shibuya Scramble Square

Sakurai Japanese Tea Experience
AoyamaOmotesando Station3 min
On the fifth floor of the Spiral building, Shinya Sakurai's tea laboratory pairs a retail counter with a ten-seat tea salon designed by Shinichiro Ogata. Staff in white coats work like technicians, roasting hojicha in-house and building multi-course tea flights that move through gyokuro, seasonal blends and a bowl of thin matcha with wagashi. Courses start around 4,800 yen; a bar menu of tea-based cocktails runs later on weekdays. Monthly tasting seminars cover single themes, matcha among them. Reservations through TableCheck are advisable given the counter's size, and the room is unusually quiet for central Aoyama.
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.
Saten Japanese Tea
Nishi-OgikuboNishi-Ogikubo Station7 min
Tiny neighborhood specialty tea bar run by award-winning baristas. The matcha latte is meticulously layered; the straight bowls are sourced from small farms in Kagoshima and Uji and change every few weeks. A pilgrimage spot for matcha enthusiasts in west Tokyo, far enough off the tourist trail to feel local. Six seats, often a 15-minute wait at weekends, no reservations. Best combined with a slow afternoon in Nishi-Ogikubo's antique district rather than a quick in-and-out visit.

It is best known for matcha kakigori made with Marukyu Koyamaen matcha from Uji, and it sells that matcha by the tin alongside sencha and gyokuro. Retail runs from morning, but the tearoom service is takeaway and opens only in the afternoon, so timing matters. Summer waits are common.

Pure-style flight from sweet to almost bitter, perfect for tasting the polyphenol intensity climb without the formality of a tea ceremony. Cup or cone, single or double scoop.

ZEN PUNK MATCHA
GinzaHigashi-Ginza Station3 min
A ceremonial-grade matcha latte specialist that opened on a quiet Ginza 3-chome corner in January 2026, ZEN PUNK MATCHA builds its identity around a single contrast: the stillness of zen set against an unruly, contemporary attitude. Drinks are whisked to order at a counter bar where staff invite you to lean in and watch, and the menu stays deliberately narrow, with matcha served straight, matcha lattes with the sweetness dialled to preference, and a case of wagashi including dorayaki, kintsuba and imokin. It opens at 8am daily with no regular closing day, making it one of central Tokyo's few genuinely early matcha stops. An English menu is available.
