Starbucks Reserve® Roastery

Starbucks Reserve® Roastery

Stretching across four floors in a beautifully designed building in Nakameguro, the Starbucks Reserve Roastery is one of the most unique and the biggest Starbucks in Japan. Even if you're not a fan of this coffeehouse chain, we highly recommend visiting it just for the experience alone. And if you don't really fancy coffee, there are plenty of other drink choices for you to enjoy, such as their signature cocktails and an eclectic range of tea blends. Plus, a variety of delicious pastries, bread, and savoury dishes. As can be expected, everything is priced on the higher end. Also, be aware tickets are limited by the day, so be sure to get there early.

Located in the heart of Ginza, Higashiya is an upscale tea house and confectionary shop offering tea alongside a selection of handmade seasonal wagashi – traditional Japanese sweets – in a setting and service done with finesse.
