KINKA — Attraction in New York

I was looking to replace my matcha set and I wanted to purchase it at a shop rather than online. I saw that Kinka in the east village had what I needed. Got to meet with the owner, Ms. EunYoung and she was quite sweet and entertaining. I shared with her my experience with traditional matcha,, having experienced it many many years ago when I visited my classmate and his wife in Tokyo. Also I mentioned my selection of matcha which I order from overseas. She mentioned that there was a shortage ( from those who prefer to drink a matcha latte instead) and I said that probably doesnt affect me as i had stocked up on matcha during Black Friday last year and only consume a cup a day. I highly recommend...

This store is such a hidden gem. It has a really cozy, welcoming atmosphere, and the owner is incredibly kind and personable.

On top of that, they host a wide variety of classes every month, which is such a unique touch. It’s not just a place to shop—it’s a place to connect, learn, and enjoy. I’m definitely planning to join one of their classes when I have the time. Overall, it’s the kind of spot that makes you feel at home right away, and I’ll absolutely be...

"Kinka is such an adorable shop!! It's an oasis of the city, and an incubator for creativity and positive vibes. Peace and love can be felt even before one enters. Plenty of beautiful well-taken care of plants and flowers!! They have X'mas ornaments, witty and cards, ( Some are made by the owner!) quality candles and soaps, pottery items, chocolate, puzzles, etc...... Basically, a great store to pick up one of a kind products for anyone. Staff are so kind, attentive, and you can tell that they really put their hearts on each item there. My son and I had such a relaxing time there and we’d love to go...
