Iyemon Cafe (伊右衛門カフェ) will open a new store, Iyemon Cafe LECT Hiroshima (伊右衛門カフェ LECT広島店), on Thursday, November 12, 2026. Located at LECT Hiroshima (LECT広島) in Nishi-ku, Hiroshima, it is the brand's 10th store in Japan.
The cafe is operated by Cafe Company Co., Ltd. (カフェ・カンパニー株式会社) in cooperation with Fukujuen (株式会社福寿園) and Suntory Beverage & Food Limited (サントリー食品インターナショナル株式会社), under the mission of proposing a healthy, vibrant, well-being lifestyle through tea (お茶を通じた健やかで活き活きとしたWell-Beingな生活提案).
The 10th Iyemon Cafe Opens at LECT Hiroshima
Ten years after Iyemon Salon Kyoto (伊右衛門サロン京都) began operating in Sanjo-Karasuma, Kyoto, in 2008, Cafe Company Co., Ltd. carried on its spirit and, in 2019, obtained a license for the food and beverage business of the "Iyemon" brand from Fukujuen and Suntory Beverage & Food. Since then, it has run Iyemon Cafe as a format that also offers takeout, where guests can casually enjoy authentic tea.
With the brand concept "A Hundred-Year Life, with Tea" (人生100年、お茶とともに。), Iyemon Cafe has offered food experiences that fit into everyday life, centered on Japanese tea. The LECT Hiroshima store is a stand-style shop that is takeout only. Even as takeout, it aims to give visitors to LECT Hiroshima an experience of casually enjoying authentic tea and recharging a healthy daily life.
Iyemon Cafe plans to keep expanding the possibilities of Japanese tea while creating stores that walk alongside their local communities.
Brand Concept
A Hundred-Year Life, with Tea.
Under the philosophy that "tea designs lifestyle culture" (お茶は生活文化をデザインする), Iyemon Cafe proposes a healthy balance of "food, mind, and body" for the age of 100-year lives through tea.

Menu Concept
Why not start with a cup of tea?
Even on busy days, Iyemon Cafe lets guests quickly enjoy a variety of tea drinks and sweets made with carefully selected tea leaves from a long-established tea merchant.
To keep both mind and body positive and healthy, the cafe recommends "first, a cup of tea." The menu includes Japanese tea made with tea leaves from a long-established Kyoto tea merchant, as well as original arranged drinks that use Japanese tea.
Menu Highlights
Cold-Brew Tea (Sencha with Cold-Brew Matcha)
This flavorful cold-brew tea is slowly brewed overnight in ice water. The method reduces bitterness and astringency so the tea's original umami comes through, and its refreshing taste pairs well with meals and desserts.
Matcha Latte (Uji Matcha Latte)
A cafe-style matcha latte made with Uji matcha. It is sweetened with "kibi sugar syrup" (きび糖シロップ), a syrup made from sugarcane with a natural sweetness that is kind to the body.
Iyemon's Matcha Parfait (Azuki and Shiratama)
Iyemon Cafe's soft serve parfait is made with richly flavored Uji matcha. A 100% plant-based vegan soy cream, made without any animal-derived ingredients such as eggs or milk, is also available.
