//The line

Because only one person whisks each matcha to order, a line forms while customers wait for their drink to be prepared in front of them at the counter, with reported waits ranging from about 25 minutes outside to 40-45 minutes for a single matcha, per customer accounts search-aggregated from review sites.

The shop is small, seating only up to four people at the counter while others queue behind them, meaning the wait is a structural feature of the space rather than an occasional surge, per the same review accounts.
