Tea Selection

Tea from Mem Tea, Ceremony, and WR originals

ゆず・菊・茎茶 WR Yuzu Kiku-Kuki Cha
$12.00/200ml cup, served cold or hot

Dried yuzu, chrysanthemum, and gently roasted first flush matcha stems from a single estate in Yame come together to create a refreshing, complex caffeine-free cold brew that can be enjoyed hot or cold.

蜒香乌龙  Bug Bitten Oolong
$12.00/200ml tea pot, up to three steeps

A Taiwanese treasure crafted through a unique collaboration between nature and craftsmanship. The tea leaves are bitten by tiny alphine bugs, which triggers a natural oxidation process in the plant, enhancing the tea’s sweetness and aroma. This meticulous process yields a rich and golden liquor with a distinctive honeyed flavor, complemented by subtle fruity and spiced undertones. Each sip tells the story of harmony between the environment and tradition, offering a cup that’s both complex and irresistibly smooth—a true testament to the art of tea-making.

香衣草ほうじ茶 WR Signature Roasted Green Tea
$12.00/200ml cup, served cold or hot

Dried lavender infused houjicha-roasted green tea. Slow-roasted green tea from Kyoto is brewed with the soft floral lift of lavender. The houjicha brings smoky warmth and earthy depth; the lavender adds a gentle calm and aromatic brightness. Together, they create a soothing, balanced cup—comforting like twilight, quietly restorative.

深蒸し茶 Fukamushicha
$12.00/200ml tea pot, up to three steeps

Long-steamed Fukamushicha from Makinohara, Shizuoka yields a vivid, velvety cup with fine sediment and deep body. Extended steaming draws out round umami, gentle bitterness, and a lingering green richness—like summer rain settling into warm soil.

宇治抹茶 Kyoto Uji Matcha
$27.00/30ml koi-cha to start then usu-cha to finish

Unkaku is one of Marukyu Koyamaen's most beloved premium matcha selections, known for its naturally sweet aroma, rich flavor, and exceptionally smooth finish. Its balanced profile performs beautifully as both Koicha (thick tea) and Usucha (thin tea), making it a favorite among experienced matcha drinkers seeking depth without bitterness.

Beverage Selection

Limited non-alcoholic beverages to accompany with meal.

クラフト コーラ Craft Cola by Wander Cat Cola
$12.00/200ml cup / served on the rock

A locally handcrafted cola syrup made from 10 whole spices, oranges, lemons, and yuzu juice. Also made with real kola nuts. Mixed with soda perfectly.

酵母茶ソーダ Kombucha Soda (Limited)
$12.00/200ml cup / served on the rock

Fermented tea soda made from black or green tea and natural cultures (SCOBY). Lightly sparkling, tangy, and gently sweet with a crisp, layered acidity. Unfiltered and live—crafted in small batches for natural complexity and freshness.
