2026年10月14日(水)にお濃茶専門店『箱根さとり本店』がいよいよグランドオープン!

The “Hakone Satori Main Store,” a specialty shop dedicated to strong matcha, will finally have its grand opening on Wednesday, October 14, 2026!


■ We offer premium “hospitality” using carefully selected ingredients!

With a history dating back to the Edo period, when the area developed as “Hakone-juku” centered around the “Hakone Checkpoint” located on the shores of Lake Ashi, Hakone continues to captivate not only Japanese visitors but also international tourists as a popular tourist destination. It is here in Hakone—a place where many travelers come and go—that on Wednesday, October 14, 2026,“Hakone Satori Main Store,” which serves thick matcha sweets, will finally hold its grand opening. Our store is part of the same brand as the “Atami Satori Main Store,” which opened in the Atami Ginza Shopping District in 2023, and is a specialty shop dedicated to thick matcha, operating under the concept of “Making ‘Omotenashi’ an Even More Special Moment.”Our menu features dishes that generously incorporate “Satori,” an original matcha blend carefully selected and specially formulated exclusively for our store.


箱根で上質な“おもてなし”

High-Quality “Omotenashi” in Hakone


Located on the shores of Lake Ashi—a mountainous region surrounded by towering natural peaks such as Mount Hakone and Mount Mikuni, and currently one of Japan’s leading hot spring destinations—the area is prone to early-morning fog and mist due to temperature differences and other environmental conditions.Our original matcha blend, “Satori,” is cultivated by a tea farmer with 50 years of experience in mist-shrouded mountain tea fields at an elevation of 500 meters, where two carefully selected varieties—[Asa] and [Kaze]—are grown amidst pure water and abundant nature.The highest-grade matcha in our “Satori” line, “Kaze”—prepared specifically to deliver the finest “omotenashi” (hospitality) in Hakone—is characterized by its high quality and thin leaf texture, resulting in a mellow, smooth-tasting matcha achieved through meticulous soil preparation and a time-intensive steaming process.For cultivation, we employ a “double-covering method” that goes beyond the standard single layer by constructing additional trellises to shield the tea leaves from sunlight for about 20 days. This approach, which cares for both the tea leaves and the tea plants, results in thin, vivid, deep-green leaves due to restricted photosynthesis.Furthermore, in addition to having artisans who fine-tune the shading level according to the weather, both the [Asa] and [Kaze] varieties are dried in a dedicated kiln built with stacked bricks. The far-infrared effects of this process create a mellow flavor with exceptional umami.


Exclusively available at “Satori Main Store”—a brand outlet that has expanded beyond its roots in Atami—we present two carefully selected varieties of matcha, 【Morning】 and 【Wind】. Through these, we aim to offer you the finest “omotenashi” (hospitality) right here in Hakone, bringing you a fresh take on traditional culture in the form of thick matcha sweets.

■ About “Atami Satori Main Store”

“O-nōcha” is a special cup of tea made by lavishly using twice the amount of matcha typically found in “O-usucha” (thin tea) and blending it into a smooth, creamy consistency, allowing you to savor the refreshing and mellow umami unique to matcha.Driven by the desire to “introduce the charm of Oncha—long cherished as a ‘tea for special hospitality’—to more young people” and to “revitalize Atami with new matcha sweets,” the Oncha sweets specialty shop “Atami Satori Main Store” was born.


“Atami Satori Main Store” was established by the long-established “Marushichi Seicha,” a company with over 110 years of history, with the goal of ensuring that the true color, aroma, and umami of matcha could be fully appreciated even in the form of sweets.meticulously selected the “roasting time,” “roasting temperature,” and “origin” to create “Satori,” an original blend of Shizuoka-grown matcha formulated exclusively for our shop, which we use generously in our “thick matcha sweets.”You can enjoy a variety of “rich matcha sweets”—such as crepes and soft-serve ice cream—made with rich matcha prepared fresh in-store, which bring out the full flavor of the matcha.
