The Tabanenoshi Difference: Taste and Form
Tabanenoshi's crepes are crafted with attention to both flavor and appearance. The matcha batter serves as the base for a variety of creative combinations.
What Makes Tabanenoshi Special
Kakegawa Matcha from Shizuoka
Tabanenoshi uses "Kakegawa Matcha," sourced from tea gardens that have earned numerous awards at the National Tea Competition. Through a proprietary blending method, the shop draws out the maximum fragrance, umami, and richness from the matcha.
Mizuhiki: Kaga Artisan Craftsmanship on Every Crepe
Each Tabanenoshi crepe comes with a decorative mizuhiki cord attached to the wrapper, carefully finished by a Kaga mizuhiki artisan. After enjoying the crepe, the cord can be kept as a bookmark or used as a small accent piece at home, adding a touch of traditional Japanese craftsmanship to everyday life.
A Contemporary Take on Traditional Japanese Style
The first Tabanenoshi store opened in Asakusa in 2022, and the brand has since expanded to locations across Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo, Shimane, Fukuoka, and Kagoshima. The name "Tabanenoshi" — derived from bundling many noshi (auspicious decorative cords) together — carries the meaning of bonds between people and the sharing of happiness, reflecting the brand's spirit of cherishing connections and gratitude for encounters.
