Saturday evening in Hanakawado, a matcha cafe gathers locals and travelers over whisked tea. No tearoom formality, no lineage to recite, just the bowl and the people around it, which is most of what tea was ever for. Entry is 1,500 yen. Come if you want the drink without the reverence, and stay for the talk.
