For any matcha gals, they sell Marukyu Koyamaen matcha here! We came to SF Japantown just for the matcha after seeing their store blow up on social media.I went home with the izusu matcha and for 40g, it costed only $23! The owner mentioned that they get new shipments every week so definitely come if you're looking to get your matcha powder fix!The owners are SUPER sweet and knowledgable, and had great recommendations to offer too. They had a pretty good selection of knick knacks, like matcha whisks/bowls and kimonos.

Came here for the Marukyu Koyamaen matcha. I've been obsessed with matcha lately and knew exactly where I needed to go in the Japantown mall to purchase matcha. Walked in with a stroller, it was big enough to walk in but not wide enough to walk around which is ok because to purchase matcha you have to speak to ask the owner behind the counter. He was so helpful. He tells you what he has and how much each costs for their size difference. I'm inexperienced and purchased the first two he suggested. I wanted one more but they were sold out and/or had bigger containers that cost around $80. If you're inexperienced but enjoy matcha and want to make your own at home, you can purchase the entire set up at this place. You'll find everything at the front.

The place for all of your matcha needs located right inside the Japantown Mall! The owners are so sweet and kind. If you're looking for Marukyu Koyamaen they stock it here! However, due to its popularity, it's usually out of stock so i'd recommend calling in advance to see if it's in stock before going. I recently stocked up on some and have been obsessed with the Marukyu Koyamaen Wako matcha powder - it's so sweet and creamy with no bitterness.

It is one of the stores we visit when at the mall. The store keeper today was the sweetest and helped us buy the good luck cats we got. The kids were so fond of his sweet demeanor.

Quick take: quality itemsThis shop is filled with quality items. Beautiful details on many of the pieces that I saw. We were looking for a certain size tea strainer and didn't see any here. But definitely a gem.

I love this tiny shop in Japan Center. I've been buying their ceramics and the high quality incense from their sister shop in Japan Center, for over 30 years.

the storeowner is definitely one of the kindest people i've met, answering all the questions i had about differences between items. i came in trying to buy just a matcha whisk however all the ceramic bowls in this store were so cool i decided to buy a bundle instead. the bundle came with a bowl, whisk, and chashaku. i spent about 25$ and to my surprise i received 20g of matcha for free. i wish this storeowner the best and thank you so much!!

I was looking everywhere to purchase a kimono and I was so happy to find one here. They had a great selection and it was for a really great price! All the kimono and yukata were high quality and the owners and staff were so friendly. I highly recommend shopping here the next time you go to Japantown!

Lovely little store in the shopping center in Japan town. They have a lot of Japanese cultural items for sale. I bought a matcha tea set and the owner was very friendly and helpful explaining how to make the tea including giving a sheet with instructions. Great small business to shop at.

Poor customer service. Store closes 30 minutes before closing time. Came all the way from San Jose to shop but couldn't find the store after walking around the mall several times. By the time I found it, the owner closed the door in front of my face.
