Yabe-en Teahouse is a family-owned and run tea shop in Shiogama which has been providing delicious brews for over 80 years.
The current owner, Toru Yabe, exudes charisma and charm as he takes his patrons on a journey of rediscovery of Japanese tea, as he creates mind-blowing blends from leaves sourced across Japan and the country’s northern most tea-fields in Ishinomaki.
Yabe-san will completely change your view of Japanese tea, not only through his unique brewing methods (including cold-brew), but in conveying the often underappreciated value of tea through the voices and stories of tea-farmers themselves.
