The atmosphere inside the dimly lit shop is cozy and not too spacious. Although tastings are not available, you can choose your tea based on the aroma of each variety. It has an entertaining aspect to it. I purchased the cheapest green tea, which had a strong presence and a good flavor without any bitterness. In addition to delicious green tea, they also offer matcha, hojicha, and other varieties. I visited on a Friday around 3 PM and there was only one other customer. The shop is located next to a school.

Next to Kura-mae Elementary School, there is a store called "NAKAMURA TEA LIFE STORE" with a unique blend of Japanese and Western elements, as seen in the English logo on the noren hanging at the entrance. Stepping inside, you are greeted by a space that combines old and new, with historical tea boxes, counters, and shelves showcasing stylishly designed products. In recent years, young creators and shop owners have been establishing their presence in Kura-mae, injecting new energy into the area. In 2015, a young individual from Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture, opened a specialty store to introduce local tea to this vibrant neighborhood. The Nakamura family has been in business since January 1919 in Fujieda City, approaching its 100th anniversary. Throughout this century, they have focused on one thing: making good tea. Shizuoka tea has always been considered a friendly companion in people's lives nationwide, emphasizing producing tea that is gentle on the body and can be enjoyed safely and deliciously for a long time. While values change with time, they are committed to continuing to make tea that fits into people's lives in any era.【Address】4-20-4 Kuramae, Taito-ku, Tokyo【Arrival Date】Sunny day【Number of People in Line】0【Wait Time】0 minutes【Ordered Items】■ 04R_GENMAICHA Refill 1188 yen (tax included) A luxurious genmaicha carefully blended with pesticide-free organic first-grade tea and high-quality domestically produced brown rice.
