【Tokyo Harajuku】Japan's First Concept Store: Gong Cha Harajuku Jingumae Branch

I visited Gong Cha, which opened in March 2025. Located along Meiji Street, it's close to Takeshita Street and Tokyu Plaza. As Japan's first concept store, it offers a variety of items and menu options not seen at other branches, such as unique tumblers, fruit sandwiches, and more. The original mascot character, Gong Cham, also has adorable merchandise. I tried the exclusive Peach Jasmine Green Milk Tea, which is only available here. It had a refreshing taste and was delicious. The store features seating for 1-2 people and clean restrooms. It's rare to find such a clean and well-maintained shop in this area. The staff's operations were smooth, and even on weekends, the waiting time was only about 5 minutes. Next time, I plan to order food along with my drink.
