Japanese Tea Café “TSUKIMASA”

In Shimokitazawa, there are many cafés and fast food shops.

If you like Japanese green tea,  I strongly recommend  “TSUKIMASA”.  TSUKIMASA is only one café that you can enjoy Japanese tea.

 

Have you drink Japanese green tea ?  Do you know how to serve and drink it ?  It is not so complex and hard.  Please look in this picture.  A brown one on the upper-left is a tea pot “KYU-SU”.  The lower-left is a tea cup you can understand easily.  The lower-right one are chips made by rice “A-RA-RE”.  And the last one, the upper-right, do you know what it is and how to use it ?

You don’t use the boiling hot water to brew Japanese tea.  So you don’t pour the boiling hot water to the tea pot directly from a jar.  You pour the hot water once in the upper-right one, and leaves a few minutes to cool the hot water.  Then, the water puts into the tea pot.  This is the right way to brew Japanese green tea.

When you visit to Shimokitazawa,  you try and enjoy the Japanese style tea time in TSUKIMASA.
