What you can do at Komatsuen

小松園でできること

  1. Taste and compare in the shop

    Tea changes in taste, aroma and color depending on where it is grown. Try a few side by side and find the one you like. Even 2–3 minutes is enough.

  2. Packed on the spot, just the amount you need

    We pack just the amount you need, right there in the shop. Vacuum packing is also available for travelers.

  3. Gift-wrapped and shipped across Japan

    We prepare noshi gift paper and boxes on the spot. We ship throughout Japan all year round, not only in the new-tea season.

  • The owner knows so much, and there is a wide range of teas, so you can find the best tea for you. If you are buying tea in Shizuoka, I definitely recommend this shop.

  • The generous owner let us taste the teas and taught us how to brew delicious tea!

  • You can taste many kinds of tea leaves, and they will even blend them to your taste. They were very kind, and I got hooked.

Devoted to tea — now in year 69 since our founding

小松園について

I want to share the beauty of Shizuoka tea with as many people as possible.
I would like to share the culture of Shizuoka with as many people as possible by talking to as many customers as possible.

Komatsuen is located in front of Baiinji Temple, where Shimizu Jirocho rests. Since opening in 1958, we have been supported by local people and by customers from all over Japan, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south,
including the many tourists who visit us from across the country, and we have continued in business to this day.

Every year, foreign customers from the U.S., Canada, Hawaii, France, Korea, and Taiwan visit our store.

Our customers are always smiling, and conversations about tea flow freely.

We are a small store, but we hope you will stop by.

We mainly sell tea from our partner tea gardens in Shimizu, Shizuoka, and tea from Honyama (the upper reaches of the Abe River).

提携茶園

Komatsuen mainly sells Shizuoka tea from the vast tea gardens of Yoshiwara in Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, where the previous owner was born and raised (mandarin oranges were also grown there in the past).
The Shizuoka tea grown here is treated with plenty of organic fertilizer and is finished with a lot of care.

Rather than simply recommending different teas, we offer a wide variety of teas with different tastes, aromas, and colors depending on where they are grown, the environment, and how they are finished.
We encourage our customers to compare teas from different regions.

We hope you will find your favorite flavor.

Depending on the time of year, we also hold mini-events such as “all-you-can-stuff tea” and “tea candy grabbing.”
