Nakamura Tokichi · Ginza

My pick for the best matcha stop.

中村藤吉本店 銀座店

When I think of matcha, I think of Kyoto. And when I think of enjoying matcha in Kyoto, Nakamura Tokichi is the first name that comes to mind. Fortunately, you can enjoy a little of that experience here in Tokyo, too. On the fourth floor of GINZA SIX, Nakamura Tokichi offers a full-service café and a tea shop—a chance to sit down with Japanese tea, then take a little of it home.

Make this your matcha break between Ginza’s shops. For me, it deserves a place on the itinerary in its own right: not just somewhere to rest your shopping bags, but a stop to look forward to.
