Japan has exactly one place on the list so far: çayca, honored by the Michelin Guide.
-
Rank 1. çayca
Patisserie
A matcha bowl starts the meal while a tea practitioner runs a quiet ceremony at the counter, which tells you this isn't a pastry shop in any ordinary sense. Çayca is a dessert dining experience where a patissière builds each plated confection in front of you, French in structure but unhurried in pace. The tearoom-meets-Western-parlor interior on a Shibuya side street adds to the sense that you've wandered into someone's very particular obsession.
