Kyoto Coast Matcha Pop Up

What to know

Born from a love of Japanese tea ceremony and a desire to make authentic matcha approachable, Kyoto Coast Matcha opened as a pop-up in Little Italy to bring ritual and calm to a busy neighborhood. Founders source ceremonial-grade leaves and focus on technique — every cup is hand-whisked to coax out umami and natural sweetness. Beyond the counter, their thoughtfully packaged tins and matcha sets encourage customers to recreate the experience at home, while wholesale options aim to spread true matcha across San Diego and beyond.
