This store specializing in matcha green tea is located in Kyoto's Shijo Kawaramachi, and among the nine branches they have opened mainly in Asia they provide an original menu that has arranged items reimported from the matcha green tea culture that has developed overseas.

The most popular item is the matcha tiramisu, in which mascarpone cheese and sponge cake are placed into a masu (traditional square measuring cup) and given a sprinkling of matcha on top. The thick texture with the fragrance of the matcha makes for an exquisite combination and is one of their specialty sweets. The closest station is Kawaramachi Station.

A quick stop at a Maccha House, why not? I discovered the chocolate maccha ice cream for myself and I was positively surprised. So for any maccha fan a definite must stop and for people like myself...

Kyoto Kyoutoshi Kita-ku Shichikukamitakedonochou 43

This Japanese sweets shop located in the Kita Ward of Kyoto City in Kyoto Prefecture is famous nationwide, which is why its Nama Dorayaki, which has been shown on TV and other media, sells out soon after the shop opens.

There are three flavors of ogura (sweet adzuki bean), matcha, and kuro-goma (black sesame) available, and the combination of red bean and cream that is not overly sweet is outstanding. In addition, they also sell popular Japanese sweets such as Oboro, which is koshi-an (fine-grained sweet bean paste) covered in warabi-mochi (bracken-starch dumpling), and Kuri-Mochi Mikasa.

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
