Welcome to Asian Tea Ichicha, a quaint cafe nestled in the bustling heart of Osaka's Shinsaibashi district. This hidden gem offers a serene oasis from the city's energetic vibes, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of quality tea.

As soon as you step inside, the calm ambiance greets you. The soft chatter of fellow tea enthusiasts mingles with the delicate aroma of freshly brewed tea, setting a tranquil atmosphere that invites you to relax and stay awhile. With ample seating options and reliable Wi-Fi, it’s a wonderful place not just for tea lovers but also for students or professionals looking for a comfortable workspace or a cozy corner to read your favorite book.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the extensive selection of teas, lovingly curated and expertly crafted by the friendly owner. Customers rave about the authenticity and richness of the flavors. Take, for example, the 文山包種茶 (Bunshan Baozhong tea), highly praised for its enchanting aroma and smooth taste, which one visitor described as a heart-stealer.

Customer feedback reinforces the unique character of Asian Tea Ichicha:

  • “Great place to hang for a while! Has awesome teas and you get a refill of water for your tea – wonderful owner. Recommend!” - Jane Pernille
  • “This tea shop offers a refreshingly tranquil escape just a mere 5 meters from the chaos of Shinsaibashi.” - 金澤滋美
  • “The atmosphere is calm, ideal for reading or studying, yet it's easy to relax and have a chat with friends.” - シェイクマック

However, it’s important to note that the cafe operates on a cash-only basis. While this may necessitate a little extra planning, it also adds to the quaint charm and simplicity of the experience.

Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat or just curious about the art of tea, Asian Tea Ichicha is a must-visit on your Osaka journey. Indulge in the soothing properties of their carefully selected teas and let the warm hospitality of the owner wrap around you like a gentle embrace.

喧騒からほんの5m入った所にある心斎橋とは思えない程静かなお茶屋さん。 店主の対応、空間、お茶の味。一撃でハートを射抜かれました。 正に癒し。 心も体も一休みしたいあなた。心斎橋に居ながらにしてこのリフレッシュぶり。是非訪れて欲しいお店です。

Nice place in front of the river in Nakasnoshima banks. Food at midday is very simple and a bit small and overpriced. Better for coffee and desserts. Outside terrace. Beautiful in a sunny day.

【落ち着く空間と優しい味のお茶で整う】 店主がお茶の説明をしてくださりました。 文山包種茶をいただきました。香りもよく味も美味しかったです。 お店は静かな感じで本を読んだり勉強している人もいて話しづらいなとも思いましたが、気づいたら普通に友達と話をしてくつろいでいました。1人でも行けるし、友達ともいける穴場です。 2階もあり広々とした店内でした。また行こうと思います!

I've been here twice and on both visits I've got absolutely amazing sencha. If you know a bit of Japanese, you can talk with a friendly owner about baseball or sports in general.
