About this place
At Isumi, tea features in both the food and the drinks. One visitor said they came across unfamiliar tea-based dishes and found themselves wondering how they were made. The source does not give details of the dishes, but this sounds like an intriguing choice for an evening when you feel like trying something a little different from familiar Japanese fare.
Tea also makes its way into the drinks menu, which includes jasmine, genmaicha and hojicha lemon sours. Shochu paired with tea is available too, so you could choose a different tea to go with your food.
The interior is described as simple and relaxed, and the restaurant is used for meals with friends as well as dinners with someone special. In Yotsuya, Isumi is worth considering when you want tea to shape both the food and your drink.
