In business since 1717, this famous shop is a good place not only to buy high-quality Japanese green teas but to learn more about them. Pick up the shop's English-language brochure that explains the different varieties, from matcha to sencha to genmaicha, or sample them at the shop's hands-on tearoom, Kaboku, where you can experience brewing techniques for the different types of tea. Open Monday to Saturday 9am to 7; Saturday and holidays 9am to 6pm (Kaboku open daily 11am-5pm).

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
