Hyperlocal Tokyo

This shop is strategically located for those who want to experience matcha. Since there are many foreigners interested in matcha, I think it's very meaningful that this shop is located at Haneda International Airport. You can enjoy several Japanese sweets, including matcha and matcha ice cream. It can get crowded depending on the day and time, so it's best to go during off-peak hours. I would say the menu is almost entirely vegetarian. If you're concerned about sugar, you should choose something unsweetened.

I had some matcha. It was 500 yen here, while it's about 1000 yen at nearby shops. The matcha was smooth and fragrant, and it was so delicious that I wished I could have had more. The shop isn't very big, but it's nice that they have a small eat-in space. The staff were also kind and made the shop feel welcoming.

We were interested in this place because we had our child with us, and the staff kindly informed us that a table would be available soon. They were very welcoming. We had a matcha latte and some sweets. It was a nice atmosphere for a quick break and enjoying some traditional Japanese sweets. This shop makes me want to visit the third terminal again! I think the main store is in Toyosu? I'll be back to try their dango!

I went around 12:30 PM on a weekday. The number of seats is limited, so be careful about eating in. Also, large luggage may be in the way. The mochi balls were smooth and had a soft texture, which was delicious. It was nice that they served green tea. You can add kinako (roasted soybean flour) and black honey to your liking. However, it took a while to be served (15-20 minutes), and everything else besides the mochi balls was ordinary, so I give it 2 stars.
