The jewel box was called. When you remove the lid, the dry ice smoke flows like a small waterfall, which is lovely. You can enjoy various small treats and feel happy. The top left ice cream has rich matcha ice cream underneath, black sesame ice cream, cereal before it becomes too much, matcha jelly, mango pudding, and the small but effective change in taste makes it delicious. It's almost enough to think, "This is enough!" Fruits, matcha agar jelly, matcha chocolate, fresh wheat gluten, warabi mochi... it's really packed!

I visited during a weekday teatime and was able to get in without waiting in line. My friend and I had already had a full lunch, so we ordered a set of cake and drinks. The atmosphere was lively with people enjoying full meals and groups of men ordering the famous "Tamatebako" dessert and cheering. We were more on the light side with just cake and drinks. The Matcha Mont Blanc was smaller than expected and good for those wanting a little sweet treat. The iced coffee in a copper cup was refreshing and easy to drink. It was a nice cafe to take a break at. I would like to come back next time to try the famous "Tamatebako" dessert. Thank you for the meal! ✨

On weekends at Kyoto Station, the restaurants like Toruri, Niggi, Nana Green Tea, and Minori Cafe in Isetan and Porta were all crowded with over 15 groups waiting. Each place had a wait time of over 1 hour... Nakamura Fujikichi was also extremely busy and of course, couldn't get in. I remembered there was a cafe in Ramen Alley, so I decided to check it out at 2:00 p.m... Oh! Only 3 groups waiting. The trendy sweets were not rotating quickly, but the Matcha jelly with ice cream was priced at 650 yen + tax. Reasonable! It used Uji Matcha with a good aroma, and the freshly boiled Shiratama was delicious. It was a good deal.

The product looks good in photos and tastes delicious, but using fake flowers in containers with dry ice is clearly a sign of reusing items. Is it acceptable to do this in this day and age? Can we say that infection prevention measures are thorough? It is very concerning. This kind of response in many shops with a large number of foreign tourists and visitors from other prefectures can only be described as inadequate. While aesthetics are important, the safety and hygiene aspect is the most crucial, isn't it?

I saw the Tamatebako Sweets on Instagram and visited during my trip to Kyoto. I chose the seasonal strawberry Tamatebako. It looks really cute and Instagrammable. The interior of the store is not very spacious and not particularly stylish. It is located inside the Isetan department store near the station, so the location is good. It was a Monday and maybe because it was lunchtime, there was no line, but I still had to wait for 20-30 minutes. They also have several types of pizza, including dessert pizzas.

On the 10th floor of Kyoto Station Building, there is the only sweets shop 'Yakikama Sweets Chasen' in the ramen theme park 'Kyoto Ramen Koji', where famous ramen shops from all over the country are gathered. This shop is operated by "Foods Frontier Co., Ltd.", which runs cafe businesses, and take-out specialty stores (delicatessen shops). The Chasen store is also located in Kyoto and Kumamoto. According to the information on Tabelog, the Kyoto store opened on November 18, 2006. When Kyoto Ramen Koji was renovated and reopened on July 11, 2016, the take-out-only sweets shop "Chasen" was reborn with an eat-in space as "Yakikama Sweets Chasen". I have visited Kyoto Ramen Koji many times and this shop has caught my attention for a while. On this day, a Wednesday on a weekday, I visited the shop around 8:30 pm. At that time, there was only one group of customers and it was not crowded. The menu mainly consists of matcha sweets, including Dolce Pizza with matcha and fruits, and a variety of food pizzas. I was particularly interested in the 'Matcha Tamatebako Sweets', which contains various matcha sweets packed in paulownia boxes and served with dry ice. Since I arrived late at the shop, I was worried if it was sold out, but fortunately, it was still available. The 'Matcha Tamatebako Sweets' cost 1815 yen (tax included) and includes various matcha sweets made with tea from the long-established Uji tea garden "Maruri Yoshida Meichaen" served in the motif of a Kyoto kaiseki dish. When you open the paulownia box, you can enjoy a fantastic sweet with steam rising, imagining a souvenir from the princess of the Dragon Palace. The assortment includes a colorful authentic matcha parfait, a rich and light matcha tiramisu, a fragrant black bean matcha jelly, a carefully crafted matcha truffle, a delicious half-soldier fu of raw fu, a chewy homemade warabi mochi, a seasonal fruit dessert, and a large Nanoha azuki and freshly cooked black rice shiratama. The dry ice show adds a sense of movement. The box is served closed and the staff opens it, so I was able to capture the moment of opening on video. I was worried that the box was too big, but each item was small and manageable, allowing you to enjoy various sweets at the same time. The dry ice makes for a great video, and the photos are colorful and beautiful after the smoke disappears. I especially enjoyed the rich and creamy matcha truffle with a silky smooth texture and the creamy tiramisu with a mild matcha flavor. The tamatebako comes in matcha as well as seasonal limited editions such as strawberry, mango, and Halloween versions, which I am curious about. Thank you for the meal!

After eating, I visited Chasen-san. It's a place that also serves pizza. This time, we had desserts after the meal. We shared the "Tamatebako" and matcha tiramisu. They were all delicious, but the matcha tiramisu was especially rich and tasty.

In the café located on the 10th floor of Isetan, there is a popular place called Chasen. Before the pandemic, many people used to line up to wait. Recently, people are starting to come back to Kyoto. Even on weekdays, you can't let your guard down. It was Monday at 3 pm when I visited. It was cloudy outside, and the restaurant was crowded. We were able to sit at the last available table without waiting. We ordered and soon our food arrived. The atmosphere inside was quiet, and customers were talking quietly. The customers included couples, young people, and older ladies. The "Matcha Tamatebako Sweets" were brought to us. The smoke-filled tamatebako was very Instagram-worthy. When we opened it, the smoke came out and a variety of matcha sweets appeared. It was a matcha lover's dream come true. There was matcha-flavored namafu dengaku, matcha tiramisu, matcha parfait, and matcha jelly. It was amazing to see so much matcha overflowing. If you want to enjoy classic matcha in Kyoto, this is the place to go.

Located right near Kyoto Station, on the 10th floor of the Kyoto Station building, is a shop that specializes in freshly baked matcha sweets. They offer a new sensation of sweets that can only be enjoyed when freshly made. This time, I chose the popular "Chasen Tamatebako" sweets that are making a buzz on social media. They serve matcha sweets that are carefully crafted with unique ingredients and techniques. Thank you for the delicious meal.

It seems like reservations are not possible. I arrived at the restaurant at 10:50 AM for its 11:00 AM opening and was given ticket number 6. The table seats were all taken, so I was seated at the counter. The view from the counter was lovely, overlooking the grand staircase of Kyoto Station. I ordered the Matcha Tamatebako dessert for 1650 yen. It was served in a covered box, and when the lid was lifted, smoke billowed out... a fantastic presentation. The matcha was just the right intensity, and I enjoyed a variety of treats like ice cream, tiramisu, and traditional Japanese sweets. As a matcha lover, it was perfect for me.

At "Chasen" in JR Kyoto Isetan, they offer a special set called "Matcha Tamatebako Sweets" for ¥1650. The set is presented in a wooden box resembling the tamatebako (jewelry box) from the Dragon Palace, and when you open it, you will find a beautiful arrangement of matcha sweets that evoke the elegance of Kyoto kaiseki cuisine. The set includes matcha parfait, Uji matcha tiramisu, shiratama matcha jelly, matcha truffles, nama-fu, shiratama, and a fruit assortment. It's a delightful way to enjoy a variety of matcha sweets in small portions. Additionally, they also offer a unique drink called "Matcha Beer" for ¥638, which involves adding matcha syrup to beer. This innovative drink was enjoyed by my son, who has a fondness for matcha. The restaurant offers a great view and is located in a prime location.

Kyoto Tea Whisk Kyoto Station Building 10F, 901 Higashi Shio-koji-cho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto Kyoto Ramen Lane Matcha and Tamatebako Sweets Set for 1650 yen (tax included) A sudden decision for a 2-day, 1-night trip to Osaka and Kyoto ✈️ On the first day, we took the train to Kyoto and tried the classic matcha sweets. When we opened the tamatebako, dry ice smoke billowed out, making it perfect for Instagram. Inside, there were mini-sized matcha sweets that the shop is proud of. The matcha chocolate in the middle was rich and just to my liking. My friend's recommendation was the tiramisu, which had a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. ✌️

The shop is small. I got lost at Kyoto Station and had a hard time finding it... The matcha tiramisu was delicious, but the agar jelly and other desserts were not so tasty. I recommend eating the parfait first. It melts if you eat it from the front.

♡[Chasen]♡ Kyoto ❤︎‬‪Kyoto Station♡ Matcha Parfait ¥1,200♡ Located in Kyoto, "Chasen" offers a unique twist on traditional sweets that can only be enjoyed freshly made. The sweets at this specialty shop incorporate a taste of Japanese culture. The matcha used here is the highest quality Uji matcha from the "Yoshida Meien Tea Garden," which has been managed for 17 generations in the birthplace of Japanese tea, Koyasan Temple. The shop is located inside Isetan at Kyoto Station. To get there, head out of the west exit of Kyoto Station, turn right, and you'll find it right away. Inside, there is a large elevator that will take you to the 10th floor. It's located in Kyoto Ramen Alley. Chasen is known for its unique sweets like the Sweets Pizza and the Matcha Sweets Plate, which are great for taking photos. I actually went there specifically to try the "Matcha Sweets Plate," but it was sold out by the time I finished work, so I ordered the parfait instead. The Matcha Parfait includes matcha ice cream, matcha soft serve, mango mousse, granola, matcha jelly, white balls, red beans, egg senbei, matcha chocolate, and vanilla ice cream, among other things. The matcha soft serve has a milky flavor, while the matcha ice cream has a stronger bitterness. The matcha chocolate is moist with the sweetness of white chocolate. It's quite rare to find a parfait with granola in it. I thought it was a trendy and photogenic parfait. Next time, I want to try the "Matcha Sweets Plate" for revenge.

When I went to Kyoto, I wanted to enjoy some fancy matcha sweets. I thought about places like Tororuri and Nakamura Tokichi, which are also in Tokyo, but I was looking for something unique that I could only find in Kyoto. That's when I discovered Chasen, a dessert shop specializing in matcha sweets for women over 40 on a solo trip. I indulged in matcha tiramisu, matcha parfait, matcha jelly, and more. It was satisfying! #Kyoto #KyotoTrip #SoloTrip #Travel #SummerInKyoto #SummerMemories #LoveTakingPhotos #ShotOniPhone #Summer #KyotoPrefecture #Sightseeing #KyotoSightseeing #FirstTimeInKyoto #LetsGoToKyoto #KyotoSweetsTour #KyotoCafe #CafeTour #KyotoSweets #SweetTooth #Kyoto #KyotoTrip #ChasenBakedSweets #Chasen #MatchaSweets #TamatebakoSweets #Tamatebako #ChasenBakedSweetsSpecialtyShop #Matcha #MatchaSweets #TamatebakoSweets #Tamatebako #ChasenBakedSweetsSpecialtyShop

Before going to see the autumn leaves in Kyoto, I enjoyed matcha with a tea whisk. The overall matcha was not too sweet and had a rich flavor. The Tamatebako set included tiramisu, parfait, matcha jelly, matcha truffles, crunch, miso-marinated dish, plus fruits, making it a luxurious set. The matcha parfait had ice cream, jelly, and crunch at the bottom, making it very filling. I also tried matcha beer for the first time, where the matcha added a rich bitterness and depth to the beer. It may have been even better with a hint of sweetness. The restaurant gets crowded right after opening, so it's best to line up a little before opening. I was very satisfied with the experience.

When I went to Chasen in Kyoto, I finally tried the matcha tamatebako sweets that I had always wanted to eat! When you open the box, green sweets emerge from the smoke! It's irresistible for matcha lovers! Both the video and the photos look great! I thought the shop would be bigger, but it was actually quite small!

I went to try the popular "Matcha Tamatebako" dessert. I had to arrive at Kyoto Station by 9 pm, so entering the restaurant at 7:45 pm was cutting it close. The restaurant only served drinks after 8 pm, so I just made it in time. After ordering, a wooden box was brought to me, and the staff told me to open it before the smoke disappeared. When I opened the lid, smoke from dry ice came out. Once the smoke cleared, I was greeted with various matcha sweets. Although most people were ordering meals, there were quite a few who also ordered the tamatebako dessert. My personal favorite was the matcha tiramisu.
