Chiaki – Japanese Tea-Infused Rice Bowl

This bowl of Japanese tea-infused rice, taking Melbourne by storm, is honestly even better than what I’ve had at high-end omakase Japanese restaurants!

Different meats paired with different teas create a rich and layered flavor profile that’s hard to find elsewhere in Melbourne.

This newly opened coffee shop – Chiaki, renowned for its Japanese tea-infused rice bowls, comes from the famous Gaea brand. If you are a big fan of Gaea, so naturally, you don’t want to miss it!

Name: Chiaki

Address: 49 Peel St, Collingwood

The menu is concise but excellent, offering 5 varieties of tea-infused rice bowls that you can order individually or as a set. Most people opt for the set meals.

The coffee and tea selection is incredibly diverse. They offer a wide range of specialty coffees, including white, black/batch brew, and pour-over, with multiple options!
