Only those in the know know! Nishijin Roji" located in Nishijin, Kyoto, a town of machiya cafes and stores

Before Corona, Nishijin Roji was a bustling guesthouse. Today, it is a craftsman's atelier connected to the world while carrying on the traditions of Kyoto. There are also a variety of stores for the public to enjoy, so step in once.

1.Refresh yourself at SHUHARI KYOTO, an antenna store for matcha green tea produced in Wazuka Town, Kyoto.

The representative, Mr. Shinya Kita, is from Uji. He felt uncomfortable about the fact that tea leaves produced by farmers who maintain honesty in their work and tea leaves blended with unclear origins are often referred to as "Uji matcha" tea. He started the antenna store with the idea of "providing correct information on single origin teas, which are single varieties from a single farm. The taste of matcha and the time it takes to have it brewed in front of you are both luxurious.

2.[A relaxing time looking at the beautiful parts at naeclose.

Nishi is a designer who has been sharing the charm of accessories at Nishijin Roji since 2019. He opened a café there "because I wanted a place where my acquaintances and customers could take a break," he says. Currently, once a month, the cafe serves hojicha parfaits and lattes from Yoshino-en Tea House in Uji-Tawara, Kyoto. Just looking at the European materials such as Italian freemetallico and parts made of traditional Japanese materials such as kumi-himo (braided cord), gold and silver thread in the open space is exciting.
