Named for the little grains and buds behind everything on our menu — rice, tea leaves, sesame, tapioca pearls.

The ritual

Three steps to a better break

01

Sift

Every bowl starts with fine matcha sifted fresh — no clumps, no shortcuts.

02

Whisk

Quick strokes with a bamboo chasen until the surface turns to soft green foam.

03

Settle

Then the best part: you, a warm cup, and nowhere you need to be for a while.

From the bar

House favorites

The drinks and rolls our regulars ask for by name. Order ahead and they'll be waiting for you.
