This restaurant is located in a corner of a building. The logo is a fusion of a rhinoceros and an elephant, and the blue signboard is a landmark.

They are a tea specialty store company and propose to sell and wholesale tea leaves. Originally, there was a tea specialty store "TEA・MODE" in this location, but after thinking about how to make tea more familiar to people, we focused on milk tea, which is familiar to people in their daily lives. After thinking about it, they focused on milk tea, which is a familiar drink in our daily lives. The result of this renewal is McQun Chai, a milk tea specialty store.

The concept is "a tea stand specializing in milk tea". The menu is full of takeout so that anyone can enjoy authentic milk tea casually.

This is McQun Chai's recommended "Original Milk Tea (from 490 yen). Luxury tea leaves carefully selected from around the world are luxuriously blended for milk tea.

“We were very particular about the blend of tea leaves that go well with milk tea. It took us a year to develop it through repeated trial and error, while thinking about the type of milk as well as the tea leaves,” said the person in charge.
