Japan Hojicha Association

Hojicha, for gentler days.

Hojicha specialists, and shops where hojicha leads

Shops across Japan where hojicha takes the lead — specialists, tea merchants' tearooms and cafes. Opening days and menus change, so please check each shop's official site before visiting.

A shop is listed in the first tier when its own official wording shows that hojicha leads: 'Hojicha specialist' where the shop calls itself one, and 'Hojicha-forward' where the official text puts hojicha at the centre of what it offers. A second tier, 'Serves hojicha', covers Japanese tea shops and cafes where official information confirms hojicha is on the menu without it being the shop's main subject; you can show that tier with the toggle.

The second tier covers places where official information confirms hojicha is on the menu, without hojicha being the shop's main subject.
