Co-founder, Masahiro Nagata of The Matcha Tokyo on bringing a niche concept to the city. I have been familiar with Japanese tea since I was a child, but I became interested in it particularly after spending many years abroad; with my great appreciation of Japanese cuisine, I became interested in learning more about it it. I visited Japan’s tea producing regions to learn more and was especially captivated with the profundity of organic cultivation, which begins with the preparation of clean water, clear air and fertile soil.
This experience inspired me to want to spread the deliciousness and magnificence of Japanese cuisine to the world. We are a lifestyle brand that offers high-quality matcha, which has great benefits for health and beauty, in a modern manner. We would like you to try all our wide variety of matcha drinks and food, but our signature menu items are straight matcha and matcha latte.
Each cup of straight matcha is prepared in a ceremonial performance, which you can enjoy watching in-store. Matcha Latte is our most popular item, made with rich matcha and high-quality Japanese brown sugar. We take pride in producing an authentic matcha taste in our Matcha Latte, fitting for a matcha specialty store.
Matcha contains a lot of catechin, which has antibacterial and antioxidant properties, making it excellent for anti-aging and beauty. It is also rich in vitamins, which are excellent for beautifying the skin, as well as rich in dietary fiber, which is good for intest.
