The customer chose matcha jelly and matcha dorayaki from the showcase at the back of the floor. While the previous customer was filling out the delivery slip, the staff member, who was handling everything alone, flexibly took my order as well. The matcha jelly, priced at 500 yen excluding tax, had a deep green color and a rich tea flavor. When topped with the thick tea sauce provided, the tea flavor intensifies. The matcha dorayaki, priced at 350 yen, had a chewy dorayaki skin that left an impression. The matcha-infused cream and red bean filling were subtly and elegantly sweet. There were other delicious looking items as well, so I would like to try something else next time I feel like treating myself.

Souvenir sweets ★ Umeda Kyoto Uji Tsujiri Heeien Honten "Thick Matcha Roll Cake" We have carefully blended freshly ground Uji matcha into fluffy dough and rich matcha cream. The refined aroma of matcha spreads in your mouth as if you were drinking thick matcha... because the matcha cream, which is not too sweet, has a bitter taste and elegant flavor ❣️ The aroma and taste are different from other matcha sweets. "Uji Matcha Mont Blanc" also looked delicious, right? (^^)

Located 3-5 minutes on foot from Umeda, there is Tsujiriheiemon Honten Hankyu Umeda Store, a traditional Japanese confectionery shop in Hankyu Department Store. This popular store in Umeda offers famous Tsujiri matcha sweets, making it a great place to purchase authentic matcha sweets. Since they specialize in takeout, it's convenient for enjoying sweets at home. This time, I purchased their popular matcha daifuku. The slight bitterness of the matcha enhances the sweetness of the chewy daifuku, making it a delicious and easy-to-eat Japanese confectionery. I highly recommend this renowned shop to those who love Japanese confections and matcha. Be sure to visit and try it out. Bon appétit!

Before boarding the Shinkansen, I stopped by Hankyu Department Store to buy some snacks. I remembered the deliciousness of this jelly in the sweltering heat. "Yama-ri Jelly" for 432 yen. The matcha jelly has a perfect sweetness and a rich matcha flavor, very delicious ❤️ I like the slightly chewy texture. The red bean paste is quite sweet. The white mochi is chewy and delicious. I made a mistake by accidentally pouring the accompanying sauce over it. The accompanying sauce is quite sweet, so be careful. I'm sorry to the maker, but when you pour this sauce, the deliciousness of the jelly decreases by half. The matcha flavor also disappears. There is plenty in it, and it feels quite cheap for this price. It seems that a cafe has opened in Tokyu Plaza Ginza.

"I felt like this place is perfect for green tea lovers." That was my realization after purchasing various green tea flavored daifuku at this store. This is one of the stores of the long-established tea shop "Tsujiri Heibe" in Kyoto. In the store located in Hankyu Umeda, there is a limited edition matcha daifuku called "Midori Mizu." I bought a few daifuku including "Midori Mizu" this time. "Midori Mizu" has a mochi outer layer with rich matcha bean paste inside, while the others have a two-layer mochi outer layer with bean paste or cream inside. All daifuku have a strong matcha or hojicha coating on the surface, giving an impression of adult-oriented daifuku with the aroma and bitterness of tea. They were all delicious, but personally, I especially liked "Midori Mizu" where you can enjoy the bouncy texture and rich matcha flavor. If you are looking for sweets to enjoy the flavor of matcha around Umeda, please visit this store.

I purchased a bamboo baum. It was thick like real bamboo. It tasted more like a gâteau chocolat than a baumkuchen. The matcha flavor was strong and delicious.

The matcha baum sold at Tsujiri Hyoue Honpo is shaped like bamboo. The matcha flavor is very rich and delicious.

Sweet matcha latte is always a good choice.

The dorayaki costs ¥378.

I bought Chafuku Mochi here as a souvenir before, and I wanted to try it out for myself. At that time, I was also interested in the limited edition Midori Mizu (Matcha Warabi Daifuku) at Hankyu Umeda, but it was always sold out whenever I checked. This time, I visited earlier than usual (in the evening) and finally got to taste it. The warabi mochi, made with real warabi powder and tapioca starch, has a unique chewy texture that blends perfectly with the matcha bean paste. The refreshing texture envelops the rich matcha flavor of the bean paste, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. I was initially hesitant about the store due to its name (there are so many Tsujiri-related stores and it can be confusing... they must be related somehow. Is this one a newcomer among them?), but I think this is a great choice for traditional sweets available in department store basements. The Chafuku Mochi also has a chewy texture that fans of Ajari Mochi will surely enjoy. The price and size are reasonable, making it a perfect little gift, but I wish they would reconsider the large and unattractive expiration date sticker on the individual packaging.

I rarely get to have the Kiri no Mori Daifuku. I have only had it twice. I took a bite of this Tsujiri Daifuku. The dry bitterness of the matcha bursts out, accompanied by a unique flavor. The soft mochi breaks through to reveal the perfect sweetness of the red bean paste and cream. The bitterness, flavor of the red bean paste, and sweetness come together with the smoothness and richness of the cream in the mouth, attacking the taste buds and nasal passages non-stop. This is delicious! Thank you for the meal. This is a superb treat that will delight any sweet tooth reminiscent of the Kiri no Mori Daifuku!

Choco matcha daifuku. Another interesting daifuku!! What is choco matcha daifuku?! I purchased it together with my friend's. When I opened it, it was bright green! Oh, I remember now that I'm not a big fan of matcha (^^; I copied that from an acquaintance. "Delicious!!" "The best of matcha!!" they praised it highly! I'll try it too. Just as it is, choco matcha daifuku (laughs). Thick matcha paste, with dried strawberries wrapped in chocolate inside. The matcha flavor is strong. Those who like it will definitely love it. I'll try to find more varieties.
