“ Super cute Japanese tea stand ! Enjoyed green tea latte and taste great. Their original goods is also stylish and love the meaning of its design! ”
“ Organic tea and ice cream shop in the middle of Mino old town. We had genmai and hojicha ice cream. The ice cream is made with both normal and soy milk making it very light but still creamy ”
“ My mom and I went and got the sencha tofu ice cream (comes with a glass of their iced kyoto hojicha) and it was so good!! Its the best non-dairy ice cream ive ever had (im lactose intolerant). The staff member was very helpful and kind as well! All of their tea is organic as well! ”
“ A great cafe that specializes in Japanese tea. Not only their drinks were tasty, the atmosphere that the place had was really nice. The inside was totally different from what I had expected from the outside. It had the fusion of traditional Japanese and Western aesthetics. I tried their green tea latte and it was very good. My partner ordered the Hojicha ("roasted tea") latte and it was as good as the green tea latte too. Definitely a great stop for nice latte and a place to cool down and rest! ”
“ Cute traditional but with a modern twist cafe in Mino. I ordered the hojicha tea that comes with 4 kinds of chocolate. The pairing went very well together. The staff are very helpful in explaining everything. I would highly recommend coming here when you are in Mino! ”
“ Classic meets Modern This little gem in Mino provides not only great tea experience but also peaceful Japanese classic meets with modern ambience. I had their “Ippuku - ume” which comes with matcha tea and a little Japanese wagashi (Japanese style cake). Mine is called “Sazanka (camellia sasanqua)”. So delicate and not too sweet. They also sell cute stickers which I got for souvenirs to myself. :) I’ll definitely come back. ”
“ V nice spot. The hojicha chocolates were a bit too sweet for us but the matcha ones were good ”
“ Went here after walking through most of Mino and it was such a great spot to reset and relax. The interior design was amazing and very tasteful. They had seating at the counter and seating at a separate communal table area. They have wonderful tea with a number of different small bites from omusubi to sweet confections. The tea was absolutely perfectly brewed and refreshing. They have lots of small gifts from stickers, to branded cups and some shirts and sweatshirts. Definitely a nice stop in your journey in Mino ”
