Welcome to Izumi Matcha, a delightful tea house perfectly nestled at 3005 Silver Creek Rd STE 142, San Jose, CA 95121. Here, matcha lovers come to life as they experience the rich, umami flavors of premium matcha sourced from the highly revered Marukyu Koyamaen, a family brand with over 300 years of tradition. This cozy, inviting spot is more than just a tea house; it’s a haven for those who appreciate the art of matcha.

At Izumi Matcha, each drink is crafted with careful attention to detail, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in a quality matcha experience. Their menu features an elegant selection of drinks that promise to tantalize your taste buds. Try the Honey Matcha Tea, an exquisite fusion of premium matcha and the sweetness of wildflower honey. Or perhaps the Honey Matcha Latte, merging rich whole milk (or soy or almond milk for the dairy-free folks) with that same delightful honey, creating a velvety texture that will linger on your palate.

If you’re in the mood for something unique, don't miss the Creamy Cheese Matcha Latte, a luxurious drink topped with a creamy cheese foam that beautifully contrasts with the deep green matcha flavor, also accentuated with matcha powder. For those warmer days, the Strawberry Matcha Latte, which features handcrafted 100% pure strawberry puree, offers a refreshing twist that many visitors rave about.

The atmosphere at Izumi Matcha is welcoming and vibrant, often bustling with matcha enthusiasts. As customers sip on their carefully crafted beverages, many find themselves lost in conversation, making memories over delightful drinks. It’s a place where the connections made are just as rich as the matcha served.

But don’t simply take our word for it—customers like Giselle Vargas express their love for the refreshing yuzu matcha and strawberry matcha, calling Izumi their go-to matcha spot in San Jose. Minh Vu also praises the unmatched quality of the matcha, highlighting that the first sip is an intense burst of matcha goodness. Meanwhile, Maria D attests that Izumi Matcha is among the best in the Bay Area, as they celebrate the balance between sweetness and the authentic matcha flavor.

However, it's essential to keep in mind that weekends can be busy; this bustling popularity is a testament to the exceptional quality and experience you can expect. Bringing cash or using Venmo is advisable since some specialty items are cash-only, adding to the unique charm of this tea house.

So whether you're a long-time matcha aficionado or new to the flavors of this remarkable tea, a visit to Izumi Matcha will certainly elevate your experience. Grab a friend, indulge, and allow yourself to be transported into the serene world of matcha—your taste buds will thank you!

Best matcha ever! This is my matcha spot in san jose and i love it every time! their yuzu matcha and strawberry matcha are very refreshing and my favorite drinks to get when I go. I got a tin from them way back in 2023 and it was great! Highly recommend trying this spot out!

As expected, the matcha quality from Marukyu Koyamaen does not disappoint. Family brand that has been around for over 300 years. Initial sip has immediate strong matcha taste. Love it! Place does get busy in weekends. They do Venmo and cash. Picture is Cheese Mousse Matcha.

I absolutely LOVE the matcha here. my go-to order is the creme brûlée matcha and I am so obsessed!! I love the yuzu drinks, my boyfriend always gets the strawberry yuzu matcha. it’s refreshing and perfectly balanced. i tried the hojicha latte and matcha lattes, and those didn’t personally stand out to me. my only complain about this place would be the long wait and the store may be dirty sometimes.

Updated review: sadly they no longer do the fish ice cream here, and now only have 1 ice cream flavor - matcha. Their matcha ice cream is pretty good. Not too sweet, smooth matcha flavor, not bitter. I also decided to try their popular item creme brulee match drink. And I think it's alright for me. Maybe I'm not used to thís. The creme brulee is not smooth but rather lumpy. Maybe that's how it is. I'm not sure, but I would prefer my creme brulee is smooth... (3 years ago review) The ice cream fish is yummy. There isn't many ice cream flavor. We tried vanilla and it was OK. Nothing special. The fish came out hot crunchy outside and chewy inside. Go well with the ice cream. It's $6.95. you get to choose a filling inside the fish and 2 topping. My kids like them. We also got the 5 fish with cheese and hotdog inside. It was OK. Not as good as the fish ice cream because seem too thick.

Best Matcha ever must try is the crème brûlée and the ice cream. It's so delicious and creamy and nice tasty.

one of the best matcha spots in the bay, serves marukyu koyamaen matcha. the SJ location sells chigi no shiro, isuzu, and aorashi for cash only if you follow them on IG (2 canister max). less of a line than the Cupertino location. the sweetened options are barely sweet to let the matcha shine (and I’m someone who usually orders drinks with 0-25% sweetness). matcha soft serve tasted more creamy than matcha - would not recommend unless you want a strong milky flavor.
