Bangkok's Popular Instagrammable Matcha Shop Ksana Experience Japanese Minimalist Zen

The cave stone wall design of Ksana Matcha in the business district has become a unique urban landscape.

Located near BTS Phloen Chit station, Ksana Matcha features a unique design with its interior decorated like a white cave, complemented by wooden furniture and bonsai decorations, creating a tranquil natural atmosphere. The intentionally processed white walls with the texture of eroded caves by wind and rain, combined with the matcha culture ambiance of the shop, along with the on-site preparation of matcha by the staff, allow visitors to feel the rich cultural heritage. This small cave matcha shop in the city center has become an oasis in the urban jungle, perfect for busy city dwellers to unwind.

Ksana Matcha uses wooden furniture with white stone walls for a harmonious feel. There are minimal bonsai decorations in the shop, keeping simplicity as the focus.

The stone-textured walls exude a peaceful feeling

The interior decorations are simple, with large glass windows allowing natural light to illuminate the space, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. From the white stone-textured walls to the cave-like seating, every corner has become a must-visit spot for many tourists. The shop is not very large, so customers often have to patiently wait for their "perfect moment" to capture a photo.

The deepest part of the shop is designed like a cave, providing a different experience when enjoying matcha inside. Every corner is a photo spot.

The core philosophy of Ksana Matcha is to allow every customer to experience the purest form of matcha culture. Therefore, the shop only sells three different flavours of matcha, including Coastal Breeze with a light tea flavour, complemented by vanilla, seaweed, pink salt, and Australian nut flavours; Smokey Peaks with a baked green tea flavour, hint of charcoal, brown sugar, and almond notes; and the intense Bitter Rainforest with a hint of dark chocolate richness. All three teas can be paired with milk to create a Latte flavour.

Staff will demonstrate the entire preparation process

Regardless of the flavour chosen, the staff will demonstrate the entire preparation process on the preparation table, from tea selection to whisking the matcha, filtering it into the cup, and serving it, allowing customers to appreciate the process and feel the care put into making the tea. The green tea used in the shop is directly imported from rain tea plantations in Japan, ensuring customers have an authentic Japanese experience.

The staff brews and whisks the tea in front of the counter, filters it into a cup, and serves it to customers for tasting. Customers can admire the tea-making process. Nerikiri, a wagashi style red bean confection paired with matcha, is not overly sweet.

In addition, the shop offers three signature dessert pairings with matcha, including Yokin Matcha, a red bean cake sprinkled with matcha powder; Nerikiri, a Japanese confection made with red bean paste, and a white bean powder shell with Edo flavours; and Kingyokukan, a dessert often sold out, reminiscent of a night time landscape with a hint of orange flavour. All three desserts are exquisite and paired with the matcha, providing a delicate taste.
