An elegant white space accentuated by clean lines, warm wood and natural stones, Yamamotoyama Fujie Sabo is a modern, elegant take on a traditional Japanese tea house. The good looks also come with a great pedigree, as the brand has existed for nearly 330 years.
Opt for a sencha set with wagashi (Japanese confectionery) and you can choose from a variety of single-origin teas. We recommend the kawane-cha from Shizuoka, famed for its refreshing aroma and mild flavour; the rich and aromatic yame-cha from Fukuoka; and the organic kirishima-cha from Kagoshima. Otherwise, splurge on the premium Uji gyokuro, a bold green tea with a sweet aroma.
It’s possible to upgrade your tea time with a full meal at Yamamotoyama Fujie Sabo. The menu features classic Japanese dishes such as nori noodles and a sushi set, both made with premium nori (roasted seaweed).
