From stone-ground tea ceremonies to innovative matcha-infused culinary delights, discover a sanctuary of flavor and mindfulness.



Umami Collective was born from a passion for the quiet moments. We believe that food is not just nourishment, it is a meditative experience that connects us to the earth.
Our ingredients are sourced directly from small-batch farms in Japan, ensuring that every sip of matcha and every bite of our cuisine tells a story of purity and tradition.

Founded in the heart of the city, we brought the soul of Kyoto to your doorstep through culinary excellence.
To elevate the daily ritual of tea drinking into a profound moment of sensory connection.
To become the global benchmark for modern Japanese tea culture and culinary mindfulness.
Authenticity, precision, seasonal respect, and the warmth of genuine hospitality.
Kind words from our community of matcha lovers.
