【About the Harajuku store】
In order to make THE ALLEY's concept, "It's time for tea - a beautiful life in love with tea," feel more familiar to you, we are proposing that you not only "drink" tea, but also "eat" it, making it a more integrated part of everyday life, and promoting a healthy, rich, and beautiful lifestyle from our Harajuku store.

Taking advantage of its spaciousness, the store has no tables and uses stadium-style benches so that customers can enjoy tea more casually and freely. The brightness and warmth of the wood creates a new space at THE ALLEY that suits each customer's way of spending time.

■A rich SWEET&FOOD menu including Harajuku pre-sales and BAKES The Harajuku store pre-sales include "Brown Sugar Tapioca Pudding," which you can enjoy by pouring warm brown sugar tapioca over it after purchase, and "TEA FOUN Porridge," made with tea and vegetables, as well as BAKES, Grilled Pao, and Tea Leaf Salad, which can be paired with tea, making for a rich SWEET&FOOD lineup perfect for lunch, a cafe, or a quick dinner.

[About Tiffon]
Tiffon is made by extracting the umami flavor of Tieguanyin and vegetables. We have made porridge with TEA FOUN made from ``umami dashi.''


[Tieguanyin]
A rich oolong tea with a fragrant roasted aroma.

[Umami]
Using onions as a base, the umami of the vegetables is thoroughly extracted. The gentle taste and aroma of the vegetables is highlighted, and when combined with Tieguanyin, we have created a rich umami stock that also has the flavor of the tea.

[Rice]
We use 16-grain rice, which provides many nutrients for your body.
