Garakucha

Garakucha is a tea house in an alley in Nakazakicho, Osaka, serving Taiwanese teas along with Japanese teas. Each tea is brewed four to five times so drinkers can follow how its aroma and taste change. First-time visitors receive a card explaining how to brew the tea, and explanations in English are available. The shop sits deep in the alley, making the entrance hard to find.
