matcha KIMIKURA Shizuoka PARCHE

At Shizuoka Station, KIMIKURA turns a break between trains into a direct introduction to Japanese tea. The branch is inside the PARCHE building, on the first floor of Shokusaikan; it is a specialist stand rather than a large tearoom. The brand focuses on green tea and matcha, making this a convenient place to sample a tea drink without leaving the station area.

The brand says its matcha latte is whisked with a bamboo chasen after each order, giving the tea a freshly prepared texture. Drinks and sweets are available to enjoy there or take away. Made-to-order preparation distinguishes the cup from a premixed drink, although a stand may be less comfortable for guests hoping to sit for a long visit.

Public feedback for this branch praises the matcha’s strong flavour and staff who explain the choices. Some customers expected a creamier drink or a different milk layer, a useful point for anyone who prefers a dessert-like latte: this version can taste more strongly of tea. Tell the staff whether you want sweetness, intensity or an iced drink before ordering.

The shop is open 9:30 am–8 pm inside the complex connected to the station, making it useful on arrival or before a train. The brand links its official Instagram for general updates, although posts may cover other branches. Choose this stop for speed and freshly whisked matcha; for a longer seated tasting, compare it with a dedicated tearoom.
