Verdict: Walk

Type: Matcha

Location: Asakusa, Tokyo

Address: 1 Chome-15-9 Hanakawado, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0033, Japan

Must Try Items:

• Matcha beer - ¥ 800 (~$5.11 USD or $6.89 SGD)

• Matcha latte Level 1 - ¥ 800 (~$5.11 USD or $6.89 SGD)

Comments:

• Enticed in by the promise of matcha beer, a unique offering we hadn’t heard of before

• Popular grab-and-go spot for matcha in a variety of forms - latte, beer, ice cream, cakes, etc.

• Both drinks were good, can’t complain. Matcha latte more of a commodity that can be purchased at many locations around, so you can’t really go wrong.

  • Interesting difference for matcha lattes was that you could choose from 3 levels of matcha (each strength at different price points).

• Cute practice of asking customers to hand out a “good service” ticket to an employee who went above and beyond for you.

• As we were leaving, a few tour groups came in. Would advise to avoid these these groups for a calmer experience browsing through the matcha offerings and space to eat.

Matcha cheers~
