"After picking up a new book or a few magazines at Kinokuniya, wander into this dollhouse of lacy curtained Victoriana in the shadow of Japantown’s Peace Pagoda. The dainty china settings are serene, but the matcha delivers a serious buzz. Not a place for conversation, laptops, nor a gaggle of friends, just a quiet matcha moment made without haste by the unassuming Japanese owner behind the counter." - Laurie Jo Miller Farr, Janelle Bitker
