Tokyo Matcha Cafe Hopping
“Today, Lexy and I are matcha hopping around Tokyo to find the best matcha, visiting 5 viral matcha cafes and trying a variety of matcha treats.”
1The Matcha TokyoCafe · Shibuya4.4 (680)Open · until 9 PMThe Matcha Tokyo Miyashita Park, South 2F 6 Chome-20-10 Jingumae, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0001, JapanCreator's voice- Matcha Coconut Float — A beautiful matcha latte topped with creamy coconut ice cream and coconut chunks. The matcha has a very strong, earthy, umami, and slightly bitter taste, with sweetness coming only from the coconut ice cream. The creator gives it a 9 out of 10, wishing it came in a bigger cup.
- Matcha Banana Smoothie — A refreshing matcha smoothie with a plain presentation. The banana flavor is super overpowering, with only about 5% matcha flavor. The creator rates it a 7 out of 10.
- Gold Blend Matcha — A smooth blend of matcha and water, with no grains, making it easy to drink. The creator finds it really good and nearly finishes it.
2Matcha HouseCafe · Shibuya4.3 (1,167)Open · until 6:50 PMThe Matcha Tokyo Omotesandō, 5 Chome-11-13 Jingumae, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0001, JapanCreator's voice- Brown Sugar Matcha Latte (Rich) — An insanely rich matcha latte, especially when mixed with the brown sugar at the bottom, which makes it creamier and sweeter while retaining a strong matcha flavor. The creator finds it more vegetal than The Matcha Tokyo's offering, preferring its grainy, leafy taste, and rates it a 9 out of 10.
3Cloud Club MatchaCoffee shop · Chuo City4.7 (1,055)Closed · opens tomorrow 9 AMCloud Club Matcha, 3 Chome-14-6 Ginza, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0061, JapanCreator's voice- Premium Matcha Latte — A beautifully layered matcha latte, prepared with a special ceremony, that smells amazing. It's incredibly smooth, creamy, rich, and earthy, making it a delicious and highly recommended drink. The creator rates the drink a 10 out of 10, but the cafe itself a 7 out of 10 due to lack of variety and being a stand. They advise visiting at opening or when the line is short, as it can be overhyped due to long waits.
4Atelier MatchaCafe · Chuo City3.7Closed · opens tomorrow 9 AMATELIER MATCHA, 東銀座ビル 1F 8 Chome-18-4 Ginza, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0061, JapanCreator's voice- Sayamadori Matcha Latte (No Sugar) — A rich, delicious matcha latte made with the Sayamadori blend, ordered without sugar. It's described as rich, smooth, and creamy, similar to Cloud Club Matcha but without added sweetener. The creator rates this matcha latte a 10 out of 10.
- Matcha Mousse Cake with Strawberry — A beautifully presented mousse cake with skinny mini strawberry slices. The mousse is cloud-like and umami-rich, with a crispy and sweet biscuit at the bottom. It's not too sweet, allowing the matcha flavor to shine, complemented by strawberry and cocoa bits that add a dark, nutty, roasty flavor. The creator rates it a 9 out of 10.
- Cookies and Cream Matcha Shake — A cute, small shake served in a wine glass, accompanied by a shot glass of matcha liquid to pour over. It tastes like a Gloria Jean's cookies and cream milkshake or a melted McFlurry. The matcha flavor is not too strong, with sweetness from the Oreo dominating. The creator rates it an 8 out of 10.
- Sayamadori Matcha Powder Tin — A cute tin of Sayamadori matcha powder, which the creator purchased. This is the brand that made Yama Matcha Koyama powder, a favorite of the creator.
5Nakamura Tokichi GinzaCafe · Chuo City4.3 (1,703)Open · until 7:30 PMNakamura Tokichi Ginza Store, 4F 6 Chome-10-1 Ginza, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0061, JapanCreator's voice- Namacha Zeli (Matcha Jelly Parfait) — A creative and delicious dish featuring matcha jelly, rice balls, smooth and creamy matcha ice cream, and a rich matcha paste at the bottom. Mixing the paste with the ice cream enhances its richness. It's refreshing and reminds the creator of Filipino gulaman. The creator rates this dish a 10 out of 10, calling it their favorite cafe in the video and properly hyped.
- Matcha Milk and Ice Cream — A creamy drink with matcha milk and ice cream, served with wafer cones, red bean paste, and rice balls. It's creamy but not very matcha-y, leaning towards the lighter side.
