Kyoto Ippodo tea shop @ippodotea started in 1717. It has a lovely shop and Kaboku tea room café in the heart of the city, a short walk north of Nishiki Market and @bentoandco bentō shop. Knowledgeable staff help to educate customers on the variety of matcha and loose tea for sale. There is also tea for take-out including matcha or hōjicha soy lattes.
I love all of the teas, which are also sold at depachika, basement food halls in department stores, in Tokyo. Ippodo also has a lovely modern café in Tokyo’s Marunouchi district.
Was excited to discover the Matcha To-Go Packets which makes a bowl of matcha or a green tea drink with cold water. These are great for traveling or even for home use as the matcha is premeasured. Easy to use and excellent quality matcha.
