IEMON Cafe Expands to Saitama with Ninth Location

IEMON Cafe, under the management of Cafe Company, is excited to announce the opening of its ninth café in Japan, located at Aeon Lake Town in Koshigaya, Saitama, on April 24, 2026. Known for its innovative approach to tea, IEMON Cafe is part of a larger initiative focused on creating community spaces and promoting a healthy lifestyle through high-quality Japanese tea.

Established in 2008 with the opening of IEMON Salon in Kyoto, the brand has grown significantly. In 2019, Cafe Company acquired the rights to operate the IEMON brand, in collaboration with Fukujuen and Suntory Food International. This strategic partnership has enabled IEMON Cafe to offer a casual and enjoyable tea experience while emphasizing health and sustainability.

The IEMON Cafe Concept

The brand’s vision, encapsulated in the slogan “Living with Tea for 100 Years,” aims to redefine the traditional perception of tea in daily life. At IEMON Cafe, customers can indulge in authentic Japanese tea and experience a supportive culinary atmosphere that enriches both the mind and body.

The new Koshigaya location will operate as a takeout-only stand, designed for customers visiting Aeon Lake Town. This café aims to provide an authentic tea experience that allows patrons to enjoy high-quality teas quickly, perfect for their busy lifestyles. This aligns with IEMON Cafe's mission to offer a casual yet sophisticated approach to tea.

Customers are encouraged to start their visit with a refreshing cup of tea, featuring unique beverages blended with traditional flavors. Some highlights from the menu include:
