This branch sits on the 6th floor of Atré Kameido and serves traditional sweets made with Uji matcha, Hokkaido Tokachi azuki, house-made shiratama and kanten, alongside original desserts such as cream sweet potato with soft serve, anmitsu, shiruko and seasonal kakigōri. The interior mixes a Japanese atmosphere with modern, antique-accented furnishings, and there is also a full food menu of ramen, rice sets and small dishes for lunch and dinner.
CHAYA Matsuo
YanakaSendagi Station6 min
A modern chaya on Yanaka Ginza shopping street, sister shop to Saboh Matsuo by Yushima Tenmangu. Mochi is pounded in-house every morning with mortar and pestle from Wataboshi rice grown under contract in Uonuma, then served as skewers with mitarashi, isobe, kuromitsu-kinako or Dainagon red bean, from 300 yen with a one-drink minimum. The matcha is Yamamasa Koyamaen from Uji, whisked to order by the okami rather than poured from a jug, and there is house-made kanten, Hateruma kuromitsu and warabimochi from domestic bracken starch. Roughly ten seats, so it fills quickly at weekends; takeaway is available. No fixed closing day.
Funabashiya Shibamata Temple Street Store
ShibamataShibamata Station2 min
Located along the approach to Shibamata Taishakuten Temple, it is a convenient spot to visit while sightseeing. It is a traditional Japanese sweet shop that also sells mini-sized *kuzumochi* (arrowroot starch cakes) perfect for eating while strolling.
Ginza matchadou ~SHIORI~
GinzaGinza Station5 min

It is also known for its table-grilled dango menu, where guests grill skewers themselves and choose from several flavours.
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.
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.
Kinozen
KagurazakaIidabashi Station3 min
Kinozen served Kagurazaka for 74 years as a kanmidokoro before closing in September 2022, and the loss was felt widely enough that Create Restaurants revived it: the shop reopened on 18 July 2025, a little further up the slope from the original site. The signature matcha bavarois is unchanged, a smooth and restrained set cream carrying real matcha bitterness, served with softly whipped cream and chunky Tamba Dainagon azuki. The anko is boiled daily in-house without colouring, which is why it keeps its pale wisteria tone. Anmitsu and summer kakigori round out a short menu, and a front showcase sells the same sweets to take away.
Kosoan
JiyugaokaJiyugaoka Station11 min
Restored Taisho-era farmhouse with a tatami tea room overlooking a moss garden. Matcha set is served in old porcelain and you keep your shoes off at the entry. Suburban-feeling escape from central Tokyo with the calmest soundscape of any shop on this list — outside of cicada season the only sound is the kettle. About 25 minutes by Toyoko line from Shibuya, easily combined with the Jiyugaoka cafe strip or a walk along the Kuhonbutsu river path.
LAMBERT
ShinjukuOkubo Station7 min
Opened in September 2025 in a quiet residential pocket of Hyakunincho, LAMBERT occupies a roughly 70-year-old Japanese house restored around a garden of megaliths, a pond and a small waterfall. The kitchen builds its menu on organic matcha grown in Izumo, Shimane, whisked to order and served alongside a short coffee list; 30g tins of both the organic and non-organic Izumo lots are sold to take home. Indoor seating is fully reservation-only, though walk-ins can order takeaway or sit outside. A second-floor gallery hosts rotating art. The gate, stone path and water make it feel far from Okubo's crowded main streets.
MACCHA HOUSE
AsakusaAsakusa Station3 min
MACCHA HOUSE 抹茶館 浅草仲見世通り is a matcha specialty shop on Asakusa's Nakamise-dori that uses matcha selected by tea masters of the long-established Kyoto tea house Morihan, founded in 1836.

Toraya Tokyo Midtown
RoppongiRoppongi Station8 min
500-year-old confectioner now with a contemporary tearoom in Tokyo Midtown. Quietly elegant interior; matcha is whisked tableside and served with seasonal namagashi modelled on Edo motifs. Strong choice for travellers who want history wrapped in a comfortable Roppongi setting — the gallery on the lower floor traces Toraya's wagashi designs across centuries. Pair the koicha with their signature yokan; older guests often pick this over the more performative ceremony shops because the staff give space to enjoy rather than narrate.
Tsuruya Yoshinobu Takashimaya Shinjuku Store
ShinjukuShinjuku Station7 min
The Takashimaya Shinjuku branch of the Kyoto confectioner Tsuruya Yoshinobu sells seasonal namagashi (fresh Japanese sweets). The range of namagashi differs from store to store, and because the sweets keep only for a short time they are not sold through the company's online shop.
Tsuruya Yoshinobu Tokyo
MarunouchiTokyo Station6 min
Counter at the Tokyo branch where a confectioner shapes namagashi to order while you wait. Watch the sweet being formed, then receive it on a square plate alongside whisked usucha. Theatrical and accessible — a popular gift-experience for visiting parents and first-time guests who want to see craft up close. The counter has six seats and the experience usually runs 25-35 minutes. Time it for late morning to avoid the lunch crowd in the Marunouchi underground tunnel network.
Ukonya
AsakusaAsakusa Station1 min
A matcha experience cafe on the 6th floor in Asakusa, about a 10-second walk from Asakusa Station Exit 5 and roughly three minutes from Kaminarimon.

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.
