Question
I’m visiting Japan for the first time and I’m really interested in trying traditional Japanese tea. How do I ask at a café, “Do you have any traditional Japanese tea?” in Japanese?

Do you have any traditional Japanese tea?
When you want to inquire if a café offers traditional Japanese tea, you can use this expression. “Dentoo-teki na” means “traditional,” “Nihon” means “Japan,” and “ocha” means “tea.” The phrase “arimasuka” is used to ask if something exists or is available.
This question can be very handy during your travel around Japan if you are eager to indulge in authentic Japanese tea experiences. You can replace “Dentoo-teki na Nihon no ocha” with other items you want to inquire about.
