Concept & Story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Minamikaze<\/a> was founded to support a tea producer deep in Shizuoka Prefecture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owner wanted to introduce this high-quality matcha to Tokyo travelers while keeping Japan\u2019s tea heritage alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every guest indirectly helps sustain that rural community with each bowl of tea.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
