Nana's Green Tea

Established in Tokyo, Nana’s Green Tea is a pioneer of Japanese cafe dealing with Matcha, green powdered tea. Nana's Green Tea gained popularity and became known as the ‘Japanese Starbucks’ where tea drinking is a culture. Nana’s Green Tea Cafe was also awarded the No.1 brand among Japanese cafes.

Enhanced with a modern contemporay twist, the design of the restuarant serves to tell me that privacy can be attained even in an open concept setting. And this clever arrangement is designed by award winning architecture firm Mr. Masahiro Yoshida and its team at Kamitopen, leveraging on Nana’s attention to details once more ! Cosy and comfortable as I would deem it, it’s a perfect venue for friends and families gatherings.







Matcha is a finely ground and powdered green tea. The tea used to create matcha is grown in the shaded misty mountains of Japan. This region receives very little direct sunlight. Incidentally, matcha is commonly known for its use in the traditional Tea Ceremony. The proper growing and harvesting of matcha is what gives it its characteristically vivid green color and incredible health benefits.




Locomoko Don ~ Beef patty served on warm Japanese rice garnished with lettuce, tomato, broccoli and sunny side egg. The quality of the Japanese rice is truly authentic Japanese pearl rice that offers a compelling match with the well-marinated beef patty. The sauce that accompanies the dish is a sweet and sour base, which adds favor to the otherwise simple garnishes. At $15.80, it is a delectable and filling dish, especially upon the completion of the sunny side egg.
