Ippodo Tea Co. 一保堂茶舗

Ippodo is one of the most famous store of Japanese tea, which was opened nearly 3 centuries ago. 

We can buy various kinds of Japanese tea of the finest quality.  Furthermore, we can enjoy the Japanese teas and Japanese sweets in the KABOKU tearoom.  

 Since the menu is written in Japanese and English, foreigners can easily select what they want.  

Interestingly, we can brew tea by ourselves in the KABOKU tearoom.  The staffs kindly teach us how to brew in Japanese traditional way.

Today, I tasted Sencha (煎茶) and To-en (桃園).  Sencha is a kind of green tea made from sprouts of tealeaves.  

 To-en is a bun with a bean-jam filling.in the shape of peach, which is the specialty in the spring.
