Yabeya Konomi Honke
The main store of Konomi Honke takes up one block in the white-walled townscape of Yame Fukushima. As this store is the “godfather” of Yamecha tea, which has now become a worldwide brand, customers come here in droves from Japan and overseas. Enjoy the tea of this old shop, which was established over 300 years ago.
