This is your quick getaway to Japan, right here in Copenhagen. Welcome to MORI in Nordhavn, where everything starts with ceremonial-grade matcha from Uji, Japan, whisked to perfection.
MORI, the Matcha Café Atelier, sits on Århusgade in Nordhavn, and it is built as a calm escape. Grab a table, or sit at the traditional tatami for a more immersive touch, and the whole room slows down around the ritual of the matcha.
Every cup starts with finely ground ceremonial matcha, measured with care. Pour over 80-degree water for the most delicate flavor, then whisk with a bamboo chasen to blend and aerate until a smooth, velvety froth forms. Enjoy it the traditional way, pure and earthy, or as a latte with your milk of choice. It is soft and balanced, gently sweet, with notes of umami and a clean, grassy finish.
The onigiri, little triangles of rice wrapped in nori and filled with everything from spicy tuna and chicken teriyaki to shiitake and kimchi, made fresh by hand through the day, the perfect snack or lunch on the go. A warm, aromatic chai served in a traditional chawan. From the all-day breakfast, the overnight matcha oats with banana, blueberry, goji, coconut, maple and a sprinkle of matcha. Pan-seared golden chicken gyoza with the perfect dipping sauce, always a hit. And a fruity iced matcha with strawberry to finish, cold and refreshing.
This is the calm corner of the map: a slow morning, a laptop-free hour, a proper matcha education, or a light lunch. Come to reset, and leave greener and better than you arrived.
A calm moment, a matcha escape.
