Lonely Planet review

This old-style tea shop sells the best Japanese tea in Kyoto. Its matcha (powdered green tea used in tea ceremonies) makes an excellent and lightweight souvenir. Try a 40g container of wa-no-mukashi (meaning 'old-time Japan') for around ¥1600 , which makes 25 cups of excellent green tea. The tea shop is north of the city hall, on Teramachi-dōri. If you need a break while there, it has an adjoining tea house.
