Wakaba Japan Shop And Cafe

Wakaba Japan Shop and Cafe sits on Marienstraße, identifiable by its modern, airy interior and a distinct hand-painted mural on the back wall. Founded by Asuka Ohashi, the shop began as a project to introduce authentic, high-quality Japanese matcha to the local market after the owner noticed a lack of genuine tea products in the city. The name Wakaba translates to young branch, a nod to the cafe's intent to grow and bridge Japanese and European beverage traditions.
