Why Kyōyo Haus
Tezukuri
手作り
Made by Hand
The mochi is wrapped fresh in our kitchen every morning. Nothing is shipped in. You can feel it in the skin, which stays thin and soft instead of going stiff in the freezer.
Hatsuzumi
初摘み
First Harvest
Our matcha is organic and ceremonial grade, from the first picking of the season in Kagoshima Prefecture. First-harvest leaves are younger and sweeter - the flavor is noticeably different.
Yutori
ゆとり
Room to Breathe
The space is quiet on purpose. Inside The Garage Mall on JFK Street, a short walk from Harvard Yard. Come in, take your time. Nobody will hurry you out of a seat.
Provenance
Made by hand here.
Sourced with intent from Japan.
Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan
Matcha
Organic · Ceremonial grade · First harvest
First-harvest leaves carry a sweetness that later picks lose. We use ceremonial grade only - the same quality served at tea ceremonies.
Made here, daily
Mochi
Handmade · Fresh · Never frozen
Mochi dough is made from glutinous rice flour with milk and butter worked in, stretched and shaped by hand each morning. The texture changes within hours of being made.
Shikoku, Japan
Yuzu
Cold-pressed · Aromatic · Tart
Yuzu is a Japanese citrus, somewhere between a lemon and a grapefruit, with a floral edge neither one has. Most of what it carries is aroma.
Kuro nerigoma, Japanese sesame paste
Black Sesame
Roasted · Ground smooth · Deep
The base is kuro nerigoma: black sesame seeds roasted deep, then ground until glossy. It carries a bitterness that balances sweetness without overpowering it.
From Our Guests

“Smooth and refined matcha ice cream paired with soft, chewy mochi. The flavors are subtle yet deep, minimal, but truly exquisite.”
“I think they are the best drinks and mochi in town! They even showed how to make it!”
“Saw this constantly on TikTok and reels so I had to try, and it definitely did not disappoint!”
