nana’s green tea at LUMINE EST Shinjuku

nana's green tea is a matcha cafe on the 8th floor of Lumine Est Shinjuku, offering parfaits, lattes and light meals a minute from the station.

nana's green tea is a Japanese tea cafe chain operated by DD Holdings, with its Lumine Est Shinjuku branch occupying the 8th floor of the Lumine Est building directly above JR Shinjuku Station. The brand specialises in matcha-based drinks and desserts, using Uji matcha from Kyoto as its signature ingredient, and is a popular stop for shoppers wanting a refined sweet break in the middle of a busy shopping district. The cafe is designed with a calm, contemporary interior that offers a contrast to the heaving station concourses below.

The menu is centred on matcha lattes, hojicha drinks and a rotating selection of seasonal parfaits, including the flagship Uji Matcha Parfait with fruit and the "all-matcha" dessert plate set. A Lumine-Est-exclusive set menu pairs sweet options with light savoury dishes such as rice bowls with egg, yam or avocado toppings. Prices are moderate, with lunch and dinner averaging around 1,400 yen, and the cafe also sells takeaway matcha sweets for travellers passing through the station.

Opening hours are 11:00 to 22:00, with last orders for food at 21:00 and drinks at 22:00. The location a one-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station makes it one of the easiest tea cafes to reach in the area, though tables fill quickly in the mid-afternoon dessert rush. Walk-ins are accepted, as reservations are not taken.
