On March 30, 2026, Sanmarc Cafe & Tea is proudly opening its first location in the Kansai region at Abeno Q's Mall in Tennoji, Osaka. This establishment aims to immerse visitors in the charm of Japanese and Asian teas, combining sensory delight with a curated menu that adds tea-centered options to the already popular offerings from the Sanmarc Cafe line.
The interior design of the new cafe features bright green and gray tones, creating a warm, modern atmosphere complemented by wooden tables. It's designed to accommodate various guest needs, with cozy seating options ranging from sofa areas to spots ideal for solo diners. As a welcoming space within a bustling shopping environment, this cafe serves as a delightful retreat for shoppers and tea enthusiasts alike.
In addition to classic menu items, the Abeno location will introduce exclusive sweets, unavailable anywhere else. Guests can savor unique Japanese desserts, such as the delightful cream anmitsu served with a mini croissant infused with salt kelp. Other specialties include warm zenzai adorned with soft, chewy mochi and sweet potato syrup—perfect for guests wanting to take a taste of Japan back home. There's also a charming cup of Danish pastry ideal for eat-in or take-out, providing a touch of comfort with its soft serve ice cream options, including milk, matcha, and a mix of both.
Exclusive offerings include the sugary sweetness of black sugar tapioca milk tea made from Taiwan's prized Dong Ding Oolong tea, offering a beautifully blended flavor that enchants the palate. The Jasmine fruit tea brings a floral perfume entwined with a fruity kick from pineapple, passion fruit, and lemon. For those with a sweet tooth, the fragrant Earl Grey egg tart pastry combines croissant dough with rich, chocolatey elements.
The cafe's exclusive items promise to be crowd-pleasers, attracting patrons who seek something different. The cream anmitsu, featuring a unique blend of kanten (a jelly-like dessert), with a heavenly mix of azuki beans and tangerine, served cold, is distinctively paired with a mini croissant for an exciting contrast of flavors. For an exciting warming treat, the zenzai with sweet potatoes and mochi, served piping hot, highlights a classic Japanese dessert experience. Finally, the cup Danish, whether plain or matcha, topped with soft serve and chewy warabi mochi, presents a perfect sweet finish.
The cafe opens its doors with a seating arrangement accommodating up to 50 guests, making it a great spot for friends, families, or even solo diners looking for a warm and inviting atmosphere. The new Sanmarc Cafe & Tea in Abeno Q's Mall is set to provide a unique experience for tea lovers and anyone looking to enjoy carefully crafted Japanese sweets.
