Updated October 2026: the current Omotesando address, hours, payment policy and branch information have been verified.
The Matcha Tokyo specialises in organic Japanese matcha served in a modern cafe format. The menu moves from traditional tea to lattes, soft serve and protein drinks, making it approachable for enthusiasts and first time visitors.
Our visit showed the full experience: a visible queue, a compact menu, drinks prepared at the counter and a matcha protein shake. The cafe felt polished and focused, with retail products providing an easy way to take the flavour home.

What is on the menu
Matcha is the centre of the menu. Choices commonly include straight matcha, matcha latte, lemonade, soft serve and seasonal drinks. Protein products are also part of the range.
The business promotes 100 percent organic matcha. Drinks are prepared to order, which lets visitors watch the powder being whisked and mixed. Food and milk options can change, so ask about ingredients and allergens.
The retail shelves hold matcha powder, latte mixes, tea ware and gift friendly products. These are useful if you want a practical souvenir.
Our experience
The cafe was busy enough to form a queue, yet ordering remained clear. Staff prepared drinks visibly behind the counter. Our matcha protein shake combined the earthy flavour with a more filling texture.
The menu board photographed during our visit is historical. Prices and limited offers may have changed. Use the current counter display as the final guide.

Value
This is a specialist cafe rather than a budget drink stop. The value comes from the matcha quality, careful preparation and the chance to compare several formats.
A simple matcha or latte is the best first order. Soft serve or a protein drink makes sense if you want something more substantial. Retail matcha can offer better long term value for regular drinkers.
