Now in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. New: My treat. Swipe up and you go straight to the top of their deck.
You come to Japan. No friends. No Japanese.
Buy Me a Matcha is for that moment. It shows you people near you in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto who are also new here, also looking for someone to hang out with, and who all speak English.
SWIPE PEOPLE YOU'D GRAB A MATCHA WITH
Each card shows why they're here — just visiting, working holiday, studying, or living here — and, if they're leaving soon, how many days they have left.
IT'S A MATCHA!
When you both want one, you can talk.
MAKE A MATCHA PLAN
Pick a place and a time, and what you'll have: matcha, coffee, or anything. They tap "I'm in". That's it — no week of "we should meet up sometime".
MADE FOR BEING NEW
Pick your city, then the neighbourhood or station you know. No GPS, no location tracking. See everyone, or only people of your own gender.
MY TREAT
Swipe up on someone and you go straight to the top of their deck, with "my treat" on your card. Whether anyone actually pays is between the two of you.
SAFE BY DEFAULT
Block and report from every profile and chat. A person reviews every report. Meet in public.
Free: 10 matchas a day, unlimited chats and plans.
Staying a while? Get more matchas, or go unlimited for a week, a month, or monthly — and see who already wants a matcha with you.
18+ only. English only, on purpose.
