The Tea House Hello Kitty Saryo, a collaboration with parent company Sanrio, sells countless Kitty treats. From dim sum stamped with the Hello Kitty logo, to matcha green tea lattes with the famous Kitty poking on the foam, everything served here comes complete with the Kitty flair - with prices that start at $3.60.

The tea house is open 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily, and has a craft shop right next door selling a variety of Hello Kitty memorabilia, including teapots, tote bags and clothing.
Keeping in mind this is the Kitty’s hometown, it's definitely not the only place to get your Hello Kitty fix. There are many theme spots, including Hello Kitty Sweets in Taipei, Taiwan, and a Hello Kitty Cafe in Seoul.
Living in LA and can’t fly down to Japan to check it out just yet? ”Hello! Exploring the Supercute World of Hello Kitty" exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum continues in Los Angeles through to May 31. It celebrates 40 years of products as well as contemporary takes on the feline character.
