Ascend two flights of stairs to this new CBD matcha haven, where shoji panels conceal a no-shoes zone with cushioned floor seating. Matcha (including a ceremonial-grade option) finds its way into everything from lattes to sweet drinks poured over house-made jams, to spritzes and even tarts. It’s sourced from Uji, a city south of Kyoto, and ground in-house in a stone mill on full display.
Good to know: Don’t come in a rush. Service isn’t speedy and there’s usually a line-up.
