The Stand is a takeaway drinks and snack bar at the entrance of Japan House, on the ground floor. Stop by to try authentic Japanese teas, such as hot or iced matcha, hōjicha and sencha teas, as well as hot or iced matcha latte and hōjicha latte.

This winter season, The Stand has added another type of Japanese tea to its menu. Iribancha (also known as Kyobancha) is a green tea from Kyoto Prefecture, characterized by its smoky aroma and a distinct deep flavour. It is naturally low in caffeine and contains significantly less of it than other green teas which makes it perfect for enjoying throughout the day as well as in the evening. Try iribancha at The Stand or buy Ippodo’s Iribancha One-Pot Teabags in The Shop to enjoy at home. Learn more about the varieties of Japanese tea.
