Interesting Experience

The tea was good and atmosphere was relaxing, but the amount of tea you get for the amount of money you spend is a little unbalanced (i.e. it is definitely pricey and maybe oriented to really, REALLY serious tea drinkers). On the bright side, it...More

My Cup of Tea!

I’ve been wanting to do the Sakurai Tea Tasting Course for some time, and having a tea-loving guest in town recently was the perfect opportunity. Tucked away on the 5th floor of the Spiral Building (multi-purpose cultural and shopping centre with a philosophy of ‘fusion...More

Great experience

As tea lovers we couldn’t miss this experience. The tea store is nice and minimal designed. We made a reservation in advance which is required I guess. The female tea specialist was friendly but businesslike. Very focused on what she was doing. It’s beautiful to...More

Wow, tea lovers, be prepared, this will blow your mind

Looooooooove that place. It’s just too good to be true. Now the menu we had was close to 40€ (4800¥), so you’d better like your teas to go there. But if you are a tea lover like we are, you’ll love it. First things first,...More

Must visit!

Wonderful experience and one that didn’t feel touristy at all. Next door to the tea shop are a few women run businesses, including a cafe and artisan stores. The “sweets” that come with the tea were lovely and thankfully not too sweet.

MadamJosephine

I have been trying to book the Sakurai tea experience but the website is in Japanese only. I can't get a translation with Google, TA or Safari. Do they have an E mail address or another method of contacting them other than by telephone? Hope that you can help.

August 2, 2018|

Answer

Yes! They have an email address. It's on their website. TripAdvisor does not let me paste email addresses or URLs here, but it's info @ sakurai-tea . jp.
