【Tokyo – 東京】HIGASHIYA

今回ご紹介するお店は「HIGASHIYA」という和菓子兼お茶屋さん。

HIGASHIYA is a Japanese confectionary and tea shop.

都内でモダンに、そして上品にアレンジされた和菓子を厳選された美味しい日本茶と共に頂けるお店。「伝統的な日本の美意識を進化させ、現代の暮らしに合わせた菓子づくり」をしているそう。

一度彼らのお菓子や商品をみると、そして食すると、伝統をとても尊敬しながらも、決して縛られることなく独自の世界感で表現していることが感じられる。

It’s a place where you can enjoy modern and elegant version of Wagashi (Japanese confectionary) and the choicest teas in Tokyo.  They say “We evolve sense of classic Japanese beauty and make the traditional confectionaries adjust to our current lifestyle”.

If you see and taste their products, you will understand that they actually respect traditional Japanese tea/confectionary culture but do not be limited by it and keep presenting sweets and teas in their own way.

都内には青山・丸の内・銀座に3店舗あり、店舗内でお茶や菓子を頂けるのは丸の内と銀座のお店。

Their shops are located in Aoyama, Marunouchi, and Ginza. Eat-in café is available in Marunouchi and Ginza.

ここでは、友達や家族と訪れて美味しさを分かち合うのも良いけれど、一人で質の良い時間を過ごしたい時に私はよく来る。そして、そんな時は和菓子と日本茶のセットを注文する。

It’s great to share a joyful time with friends and families here but I often come solo when I want to spend some quality time by myself. My go to order is a set of Wagahi and Japanese tea.

特に季節ごとの道明寺羹がお気に入り。

お茶はかなり種類があって迷ってしまうことが多いけれど、お店の人に尋ねるといつも丁寧に説明してくれて、選ぶのを手伝ってくれる。

One of my favorite confectionaries from this café is a seasonal Domyojikan.

For the tea, I often have a difficult time choosing one because of the wide range of the tea selections, but a shop staff always generously helps me to pick up the best one for the day.

持ち帰り用・贈答用のお菓子やお茶も充実しているので、お店でゆっくりする時間がない時は家でのお楽しみにお気に入りの品を購入するのが良し。お茶やお菓子以外に「お赤飯」や「ちまき」もオススメ。

There are many take-out sweets and tea leaves as well. If you don’t have enough time to stay at the café, choose something for your treat at home. Aside from tea and sweets, I recommend “Chimaki (Sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves)” and “Sekihan (Rice boiled with red beans)”.

是非この世界感、そして美味しい菓子とお茶を楽しんでほしいな。

I would like you to experience this unique “Wagashi universe” and enjoy tasty tea and sweets.
