Nestled at the foot of the torii gate of Shitennoji Temple is the tea house "Shitennoji Chaya." The elegant one-piece signboard and red benches create a modern Japanese atmosphere. The interior, adorned with wood grain, exudes a refined and high-quality ambiance with tea utensils and antiques catching the eye. With both table and counter seating available, guests can relax in a friendly and serene atmosphere. The slender Shitennoji Parfait is a luxurious treat featuring matcha chocolate, candied chestnuts, shiratama (mochi), matcha ice cream, senbei (rice cracker), matcha bavarois, whipped cream, cornflakes, and matcha jelly, showcasing a well-balanced harmony of flavors. The Matcha Kakigori (shaved ice) uses premium matcha from Aichi Prefecture, offering a sophisticated tea aroma that fills the mouth. Topped with whipped cream, homemade warabi mochi, azuki beans, and shiratama, guests can also enjoy the matcha sauce on the side for a flavor variation. The Strawberry Kakigori comes with whipped cream, shiratama, condensed milk, and a homemade sauce. The Shitennoji Roll, named after the tea house, uses matcha from Kyoto's Hekisuien, with a sponge cake featuring a subtle matcha flavor, filled with candied chestnuts, chestnut paste cream, and warabi mochi, offering a substantial treat. The Matcha Shin'en White has a good foam and a mild bitterness that enhances the taste of sweets. In addition to sweets, the menu also includes carefully selected items such as onigiri (rice balls) and udon noodles, making it a versatile tea house with a variety of takeaway options suitable for gifts. A convenient and versatile tea house indeed.

I visited Shitenno-ji Temple Chaya in Osaka for the first time with my boyfriend on our bikes. When we arrived around 1:30 PM, there was already a line forming outside the shop. I underestimated the popularity of this place! We decided to wait in line, but we were called in within 30 minutes! The interior of the shop was not very spacious, but it had a cozy atmosphere with a counter and tables. We ordered the following items: - Matcha Shaved Ice with homemade warabi mochi for 1280 yen - Apple Mango Shaved Ice with fruit toppings for 1080 yen The shaved ice servings were not too big, making them easy to eat. The matcha shaved ice came with freshly made warabi mochi, red bean paste, and shiratama (rice flour dumplings), with various toppings. We also added the provided sauce halfway through, which gave it a rich matcha flavor and made it even more delicious! The Apple Mango shaved ice was loaded with fruit toppings, and we also added the sauce midway through. Usually, my boyfriend and I order different flavors and share, but this time the Apple Mango was so good that I ended up eating most of it by myself! In addition to shaved ice, they also offer popular items like Shitenno-ji Roll cake and Sudachi Udon, so it's a great place for both cafe and lunch options. Apparently, the shop has become more popular after being featured on TV, so be prepared to wait if you decide to visit. Overall, it was very delicious! Thank you for the meal!

After casually stopping by the antiques market at Shitennoji Temple, I visited a tea house located right next to the entrance. The interior of the shop had a stylish tea house vibe, with tea utensils and glasses displayed along the walls creating a nice atmosphere. This time, I tried the summer limited edition Chilled Nebaro Nebaro Udon (large) for 1,060 yen, and two pieces of inari sushi for 180 yen. The Inaniwa udon was served in a cool, transparent bowl, topped with grated yam, Nameko mushrooms, okra, green onions, tenkasu (tempura scraps), bonito flakes, and early harvest wakame from Koshikiri, creating a luxurious dish with plenty of ingredients. The thin, cold Inaniwa udon had a smooth texture that felt good on the palate. The crispy texture of the tenkasu, combined with the sticky Nameko mushrooms and okra, created a satisfying and varied taste. It paired perfectly with the inari sushi. The portion size for this price was a great deal. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

Especially the shaved ice made with premium matcha is exceptional with its matcha aroma and sweetness. Truly delicious! I can't wait to try the new textured fresh warabi mochi with a 20-minute expiration date and Shitennoji Roll next time.

I wanted to try the warabi mochi with a 20-minute expiration date, so I visited the shop. By the time I finished eating, I felt full, but after leaving the shop, my stomach felt refreshed. The matcha and sencha in the set were also very delicious. The customer service was excellent too. I'm thinking of trying the warabi mochi drink next time.

Hello! I'm Nonstagram, and I want to liven up restaurants! Today, I visited a charming tea house called "Shitennoji Chaya" located next to Shitennoji Temple in Osaka. The place has a traditional exterior that looks like something out of a period drama. I tried their Shitennoji Parfait, which was amazing with its combination of monaka, sweet chestnuts, shiratama, and red bean paste. Despite not being a fan of artificial matcha flavor, I really enjoyed this parfait. The Shinen's White tea was also delicious, not too bitter and very easy to drink. The Warabi Mochi was soft and gooey, served with kinako and black honey. Lastly, the Matcha Latte was creamy and mildly sweet, suitable for both adults and children. The restroom was clean, and the seating options allowed for a relaxing experience. They also offer takeout, and I saw foreigners buying their products, which made me appreciate Japanese culture even more. I prayed at Shitennoji Temple for everyone to find happiness. Thank you for reading, and I hope you can like and save this review. It was a delightful meal, thank you!

The atmosphere of the shop was nice, quiet, and relaxing. I ordered zenzai and hojicha latte. The red bean in the zenzai was a bit too sweet, but it was a warm and gentle taste. I came in wanting something sweet. The taste was soothing.

I tried the warabi mochi with a 20-minute expiration date! It was so soft and smooth that it was difficult to pick up. I thought it had a 20-second expiration date because I wasn't paying attention. This stylish Japanese cafe, Exotic Japan, is located at the entrance of the Secret Shitenno-ji Temple. Many foreign tourists visit here. I am so happy that there is a cafe like this in Tennoji! The Japanese sweets made with carefully selected matcha are exquisite. It's also nice that you can eat rice balls and udon sets. Above all, the staff is polite, kind, and has a great sense of style.

Hello! This is Gourmet Tigercat (@gourmettigarcat), constantly craving for matcha parfaits. Today, I want to introduce a place in Tennoji, Osaka called Shitennoji Chaya (@shitennoji_chaya). The name Shitennoji sounds really strong, like a school for the elite or something. Anyway, I visited this place as part of my Osaka gourmet journey. I actually had visited two other places earlier in Amagasaki and Temma for invitation events, so this was my third stop of the day! The highlight here is the Shitennoji Parfait. I had seen it on my timeline a few times and it always caught my eye with its bright yellow and green colors. And the best part is, it's not that expensive! I must say, it was incredibly delicious! The ice cream on top looked like mochi, and until I saw it in person, I really thought it was mochi. It's amazing how things can look different in real life compared to online. Also, I had the chance to chat with a lovely manager who was really into Instagram, and our conversation just flowed naturally. I was surprised at how much I talked, especially when it comes to Instagram! They served us some delicious tea and the whole experience was really enjoyable. It was a much-needed pick-me-up for me, as I had been feeling down lately. Afterwards, I managed to walk from Shitennoji to another place I wanted to visit! Where there's a will, there's a way! It was a fulfilling day indeed. Until next time!

I visited the restaurant because I wanted to eat matcha parfait and fresh bracken rice cake. It's not in the city center, but it's easy to get around Osaka by subway, so the distance was not a problem. I ordered the Shitennoji Parfait (matcha), fresh bracken rice cake, and a pot of tea. There were several types of tea, but I forgot what I ordered. The Shitennoji Parfait is a dish full of the charm of matcha parfait with ice cream, matcha Bavarian cream, whipped cream, shiratama (rice flour dumplings), and sweet red bean paste. It was delicious, but it's quite large for one person, so sharing is just right. The fresh bracken rice cake was a new challenge for me. You scoop the fresh bracken rice cake in water with a spoon, put it on a plate with soybean flour, and pour black syrup over it to eat. When I ordered another plate, they brought it with plenty of soybean flour. When I asked for more black syrup, they brought me two servings for free. They also refilled the tea pot and kindly showed me the way to the station at the end. I was impressed by the hospitality of the restaurant. It's a perfect place for those who want to relax and enjoy Japanese sweets.

I visited a traditional matcha sweets cafe in Osaka where you can enjoy Kyoto-like authentic matcha sweets. I was looking forward to my second visit after about a year since my last one. Last time, I tried the matcha sweets, but this time I noticed they had food menu items as well! Among options like udon and soba, I was intrigued by the trendy onigiri (rice ball). - Onigiri Set Meal (Limited to 5 servings) 2 pieces for ¥900 - Flavors: Shredded dried bonito with sansho pepper, grilled salmon in red miso broth, rolled omelette in broth, pickles The handmade onigiri were small and easy to eat. They use "Tsunashiki" rice from Yamagata prefecture, which has a sweet taste that is delicious! At the register, there was something lovely - "Chayori" tea, shaped like a postcard. You can actually send it as a gift by simply affixing a stamp! It felt nostalgic and was a really wonderful gift idea.

I went to a Japanese cafe known for its high-quality sweets and matcha. The freshly made warabi mochi was delicious, but I highly recommend their matcha roll cake as well. It has a gentle matcha flavor that even those who don't like the bitterness of matcha can enjoy. They are very conscious about using natural ingredients and avoiding additives and artificial colors, so you can enjoy your meal and cafe experience with peace of mind. They also offer takeout, delivery, and mail order services. They have a great value sweets set that includes their signature items like the Tennoji roll, matcha, and florentine. The zenzai dessert surprised me with its generous amount of red beans, perfect for a cold day. They also have limited items like the onigiri set and beef and soft-boiled egg udon, which are worth trying. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy traditional Japanese sweets and matcha in a cozy atmosphere.

I visited the restaurant on a whim and saw that they had the "Fresh Warabi Mochi" featured on the TV show "Good Morning Asahi!" I immediately ordered it - Fresh Warabi Mochi (8 pieces) for 880 yen and a cafe au lait for 800 yen. The staff kindly offered me a complimentary serving of the Warabi Mochi, which was even more delicious than the one I ordered! The Fresh Warabi Mochi was soft and tasty, but the complimentary one was even better! Thank you for the meal! ♡

For all you warabi mochi lovers out there, I heard about this "fresh warabi mochi" with a 20-minute shelf life that was featured in the media, and I just had to check it out. The interior of the shop had a cozy Japanese cafe vibe with a counter and tables. The walls were adorned with beautiful tea sets that I couldn't help but admire. Of course, I came for the "fresh warabi mochi," but after looking at the menu, I couldn't resist ordering a few other items. - Osaka's classic kitsune udon: Recommended by the cute staff, I had to order it. The broth was gentle and the noodles were chewy. It was the perfect dish for a sudden cold day. - Matcha from Kamenoen: A smooth and creamy matcha with just the right amount of sweetness and bitterness. I love being Japanese when I get to choose such beautiful tea sets. - Fresh warabi mochi: Meticulously crafted and truly melt-in-your-mouth warabi mochi. It was incredibly delicious and a must-try. - Shitennoji parfait: Eating a parfait in a warm, heated shop on a cold day is unbeatable. And the presentation was Instagram-worthy. It was a luxurious parfait with white balls, chestnut sweetened in syrup, matcha bavarois, matcha chocolate, matcha ice cream, and matcha jelly. It was incredibly delicious. - Seasonal limited menu: Zenzai parfait - The contrast of warm and cold in this dessert was perfect. The plump azuki beans and soft mochi provided a satisfying texture. I ended up overeating because everything was so good. The staff's service was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy, so I ended up staying longer than planned. If you love sweets, I highly recommend checking this place out. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The other day's snack "Shitennoji Chaya" parfait(^^)⚫︎Shitennoji Parfait - Chestnut - Matcha ganache - Matcha ice cream - Shiratama - Anko - Matcha Bavarian cream - Matcha jelly, etc. The main warabi mochi and soft warabi mochi drinks are popular★

In front of Shitennoji Temple, there is a tea house called Shitennoji Chaya Mizu, where you can find a unique dish called "Nama Warabi Mochi" that you scoop out of water with a spoon, sprinkle with kinako and black syrup, and eat. Honestly, I didn't really enjoy the taste of this dish. However, there are plenty of other delicious traditional Japanese sweets available that look tempting.

On this day, my mother and I visited Shitenno-ji Temple to see the "Seireikai" event. In between, feeling tired from standing for a long time, we stopped by for a break. My mother ordered the "warabimochi drink" and I ordered the sweet red bean soup. The prices seemed a bit higher than expected, so we opted for the relatively more affordable options here. Due to the COVID-19 measures, there were fewer seats available, so we couldn't relax for too long. However, the warm sweet red bean soup and salted kelp really soothed our tired bodies. Thank you for the meal.

I live in Osaka, and I often receive information about delicious food from locals. Whenever I have work in Osaka, I make it a point to visit those recommended places to eat. This month, I was introduced to a shop that serves fresh warabi mochi. I used to eat too much warabi mochi in the past and ended up not liking it, but when I heard that it has a shelf life of only 20 minutes, I thought it might be worth a try. I love sweet bean paste, so I was torn between getting the seasonal zenzai, but I decided to stick to just one item to avoid a calorie bomb. Of course, I chose the fresh warabi mochi! It may not look very photogenic, but when you pick it up with chopsticks, it's so soft and gooey that it drips. It is made with rare domestic warabi powder kneaded by skilled craftsmen. You can't hold it with chopsticks without dusting it with soybean flour! When you drizzle black honey on it, it becomes even more deliciously gooey and satisfying. As I've started to find overly chewy textures unappealing as I've gotten older, I'm happy to have found warabi mochi that I can enjoy again. Next time, I want to try the parfait. I also ordered brown rice tea, and to my surprise, they offered a 200 yen discount for ordering it as a set. On top of that, they kindly offered to refill the tea pot, so I got to enjoy two pots of delicious tea. Such unexpected hospitality made my experience even more delightful.

Pretty boasts sincere reviews, which is wonderful! I visited here with the gourmet lady M before dinner for a pre-dinner gathering. It is located a 5-minute walk from Exit 4 of Shitennoji-mae Yuhigaoka Station. Here are the reviews I received! ☆Tamaryokucha Shofu... In a word, it is not bitterness but sweetness that can be felt, making it easy to drink and refreshing. The flavor of tea is difficult for me to grasp, but this gentle taste is drinkable in any quantity. ☆Matcha Shiro from Kami-en... This overturns the concept of matcha, I think. Really smooth! It has sweetness and the bitterness is pleasantly mild. After just one sip, I want to make sure to order this for the next Shitenno Roll. I want to learn the flavor of matcha! ☆Fresh Warabimochi... They made it for us after we ordered! Amazing (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡ Freshly made warabimochi that pursues softness. This has a plump and bouncy texture that is not as solid as Kyoto's Yugei Salon de The but not as liquid as Gion Tokuya, more of an intermediate feel. Lift it up, let it melt, the fleeting taste that disappears at the temperature of your mouth is ephemeral! Once again, I am fascinated by the depth of warabimochi. It was served with a little black honey and sprinkled with kinako. The elegant sweetness and the moment it melts in your mouth are truly irresistible. The staff's service is excellent, and the atmosphere is great, so this place is a definite repeat for me! It's still a hidden gem, so I highly recommend it to warabimochi and tea lovers. Enjoy your meal!

It seems that there is a newly opened cafe specializing in traditional Japanese sweets that opened on December 16th last year. They do not use artificial sweeteners or preservatives, which is great. Their Warabi Mochi, made with domestically produced Warabi flour, has a surprising shelf life of only 20 minutes. It's so smooth and slippery that it slides off the chopsticks. It's similar to the Warabi Mochi from Gioen Tokuya, which I really like. The Kinako powder and black honey combination is classic and delicious. The Shitennoji Parfait Matcha was also available, catering to matcha lovers with options like matcha and matcha parfait, and roll cake. The mild sweetness makes it perfect to enjoy with plenty of black honey.
