Jugetsudo Ginza Kabukiza is a Japanese tea café and tea-leaf shop operated by Maruyama Nori, a firm founded 165 years ago. This shop was designed by Kengo Kuma, a world-famous architect who also designed the Jugetsudo in Paris, France. Located in a space surrounded by 3,000 bamboo trees, the shop has a terrace where several kinds of Japanese tea and lunch are served together with a view of the Japanese garden on the rooftop of the Kabukiza Theater. There are also counter seats where you can see before your very eyes the formal preparation of traditional Japanese tea and a sales area if you’d like to pick up a souvenir of Tokyo in the form of high-quality sweets and tea leaves.
Their most popular event is their Japanese tea experience option. You’ll be able to enjoy several types of Japanese tea including sencha (standard whole-leaf), gyokuro (shade-grown whole leaf), and matcha (ground tea powder) together with seasonal confectionaries. Presented together with a lecture, it’s perfect for both beginners and long-time Japanese tea lovers.
