You can also get the summer favorite, “kakigōri,” or shaved ice. As it is a matcha specialty cafe, their shaved ice features red beans, green tea ice cream and white mochi balls and a shot of green tea on the side if you order the set!
The shaved ice costs 1,100 yen or 1,430 yen for the tea set.

Nana’s Green Tea is a much-loved chain store that, as the name implies, prides itself on its matcha eatables. You’ll definitely have to try the matcha shiratama parfait with whipped cream (800 yen). Shiratama are the white mochi balls! The accompanying sencha tea would cost you 400 yen.

You’ll be able to find Nana’s Green Tea in most major stations in Tokyo and even all across other cities in Japan. The delicious matcha roll cake goes for 560 yen. It’s sweet and moist in the exactly the way you’d imagine a perfect roll cake to taste.
I’m calling for a matcha revolution!
