Amazing Twists on Traditional Tea, Shuhari Matcha Café
ヴェニスおしゃれな守破離(Shuhari)抹茶カフェ

Centuries of traditional Japanese tea craft mingle with modern treats at Shuhari Matcha Café. Japanese high-quality tea ceremony matcha is whisked and served. Just like the kind that is served by kimono-clad beauties in Kyoto. However, the café also adds creative twists on classic Japanese and American comfort foods. Coconut milk swirls in steaming matcha lattes, cornflakes garnish green tea sundaes and matcha powder speckles balsamic glazed strawberry bread rolls.

For purchase, too, are the hot pink and purple teapots, which interrupt the procession of Japanese tea ware of yesteryear. The clean wood lines and plethora of tea evidence the Japanese reverence for beauty and matcha. Besides tea though other out-of-the box takes on food are found. The ancient art of Japanese rice ball (onigiri) making with pickles is transformed into Creamy Ume (plum) Chicken onigiri-sandwiches. This clever café has plenty of vegan options and is easy on the budget.  The entertaining views of the catwalk-ready fashionistas strolling Abbot Kinney Boulevard are free.
