Lonely Planet review for Somushi Kochaya
This is the only Korean teahouse we’ve ever seen in Japan. It’s a good place to go when you need a change from the creeping monoculture of coffee chain stores. It’s a dark, woodsy and atmospheric spot with a variety of herbal teas (the menu details what they’re good for). The teahouse also serves a few light meals, including some unusual Korean favourites (just don’t expect Korean barbecue).
