‘Cha no Ikedaya’ – A speciality shop of Japanese green tea

Cha no Ikedaya (茶の池田や) is a long-established Japanese green tea specialty shop located in the underground shopping area “Odakyu Ace” at Shinjuku Station’s west exit. Founded 80 years ago, the shop is dedicated to offering high-quality Japanese tea carefully selected by the owner, who personally visits the market to hand-pick the best leaves. The coffee served here is also roasted in-house.

Japanese tea is known not only for its rich flavors and aromas but also for its health benefits. The catechins found in tea have antioxidant properties that can help boost immunity and support fat burning. The theanine in tea promotes relaxation and helps reduce stress and improve focus. Plus, Japanese tea is packed with vitamin C and minerals that contribute to overall wellness and even help keep your skin looking beautiful.

Recently, the shop has become popular with foreign tourists, and Japanese tea—especially matcha—has gained global recognition. It makes for a perfect souvenir to bring a taste of Japan back home.
