New Matcha Haven: Hachijuh Shibuya
Exciting news for matcha lovers!
Hachijuh Shibuya, a new matcha stand hailing from Kyoto, is set to open its doors on
July 1, 2025. Operated by
room Co., Ltd., which runs the well-known Japanese tea shop
Hachijuh Ryoyosha, this new location aims to bring a unique matcha experience to the vibrant yet tranquil alley of
Okushibuya, just a stone's throw away from the bustling heart of Shibuya.
A Taste of Tradition and Modernity
Nestled in a central area of Kamiyama Street, Hachijuh Shibuya juxtaposes a calming atmosphere with an eclectic mix of shops. This new spot will not only offer takeout drinks, but also limited-time summer specials such as
Hachijuh Ice and
Hachijuh Monaka, providing patrons with an authentic taste of Kyoto in Tokyo.
Location and Ambiance
Conveniently located within a 5-minute walk from
Yoyogi Park, guests can enjoy a refreshing
matcha latte or delightful sweets during their stroll or shopping trip in Okushibuya. The store's interior features a large, circular counter made of unique
naguri wood, a technique first used by the famous tea master
Sen no Rikyū, harmonizing traditional aesthetics with modern design.
The counter is connected by independent columns, drawing the eye to its impressive structure. The design reflects a fusion of the nostalgic Showa era decor and contemporary elements, creating a cozy yet stylish environment ideal for enjoying quality Japanese tea.
A noteworthy addition is the spacious terrace, which welcomes guests to relax with their loyal pets while sipping on their choice of matcha. This friendly atmosphere enhances the experience of relishing matcha amidst the serene vibe of the neighborhood.
Summer Specials: A Treat Like No Other
Among the highlights of the menu is the summer-exclusive
Hachijuh Ice priced at
1,600 yen. This delightful treat, once only available at the Hachijuh Ryoyosha in Arashiyama, features homemade matcha milk, matcha espuma, and a topping of creamy matcha ice cream. Guests can customize their treat with matcha syrup for a refreshing twist.
Additionally, the store introduces the
Hachijuh Monaka, a sweet made with specially crafted matcha red bean paste sandwiched in a delicate monaka shell for
400 yen. This elegant dessert pairs perfectly with
Ishigaki salt, enhancing the flavor profiles, setting it apart as a must-try offering exclusive to Hachijuh Shibuya.
