Delightful genmaicha at Umami Cafe in the Portland Japanese Garden.
Note: you have to make a booking for Umami Cafe on Tock, and there is a fee to enter the garden. But it’s a nice way to make an afternoon out of it.
Most of their teas are very grassy and savory, so I enjoyed it.
Has some basic tea-adjacent foods (ochazuke, miso soup) but I would come just for the tea sets.
