Shimokita Chaen Ōyama

Tokyo Shimokitazawa Store Exploration 🔎 Shimokita Chaen Ōyama 📍 3 - 19 - 20, Kitazawa, Setagaya - ku, Tokyo, reload1 - 11 🚃 4 - minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station 🕐 14:00 - 18:00 🏠 The most authentic - tasting matcha shaved ice in all of Tokyo. The tea house "Shimo - kita Chaya Oyama" has moved to Shimokitazawa reload1 - 11, and this is my first visit to the new location ✅ The new shop offers all its tea in take - away form. The must - try item is the shaved ice made from high - grade Kyoto Uji matcha, now available in a cup. 🍵 The shop is run by the Oyama brothers, Tai and Taro, who are both certified as 10th - dan Japanese tea masters. In the field of Japanese tea, they are among the highest - ranked individuals in tea quality assessment and tea - making techniques (there are only 15 10th - dan tea masters in Japan). 🍃🌸 Although shaved ice is just a side business for Shimo - kita Chaya Oyama, its excellent product has made it a must - visit spot for matcha lovers in Shimokitazawa. 💚 The bottom layer of the cup is slightly bitter matcha honey, the middle layer is delicate shaved ice mixed with milk, and the top layer is a generous amount of soft, mousse - like matcha sauce. The interplay of slight bitterness and sweetness is truly worth savoring. 🍃🌸 #Japan #FollowMeForStoreExploration #Dessert #AfternoonTea 🌟
