Monsoon Tea Room is a well-known cafe in Shinsaibashi that has been going since 1987. One of the most popular things on the menu is tea, of which there are several varieties, all worth trying. Also recommended is the mango pudding. Big windows, lots of artwork, colorful and varied decor and furniture all make for a warming, relaxing distinctly southeast Asian-inspired space. Most of the artwork is on exhibition. Enjoy the Monsoon's Asian-style lunches flavored with myriads of herbs. view all details
