Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto City Nakagyo-ku Kawaramachi Dori 4 rice Yoneya Town rising 382-2

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. Known for using matcha from Kyoto's long-established shop Morihan, on off-days it is so popular that there will be lines several hours long. 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...

お菓子中心のお土産物屋さんということであまり期待せず、伊根の舟屋見学の後、帰途で寄り道。伊根は雪も余り残っていなかったのに駐車場は残雪でザリザリ状態、ブーツでないと歩きづらいくらいで雪が積もりやすい場所？なのかな。だいぶ前に大きな昔ながらのお土産物屋さんがあり、リニューアルされたのかな、トイレが外で掃除の水で床がびしょぬれ，和式がほとんどと旧ドライブインの雰囲気、でも中は新し...

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.
