Nakamura Tokichi Honten: Uji’s Historic Matcha Tea House and Cafe
Nakamura Tokichi Honten is a historic Uji tea merchant that converted a former tea factory building into a cafe, located about 2 minutes on foot from the south exit of JR Uji Station. Uji has long been known as one of Japan's premier tea-growing regions, and the shop is one of the long-established merchants dealing in Uji tea. The ground floor sells tea leaves and related products, while the attached cafe serves matcha sweets and parfaits made with the shop's own Uji matcha inside the atmospheric former factory building. Specific menu items and current prices were not independently confirmed for this guide, so visitors should check with the shop directly.
