This time, I tried the Matcha Anmitsu for 750 yen and the Matcha Ice Daifuku for 500 yen. What I found truly impressive was the Single Origin Matcha Latte. It is made by hand without using any machines, and the layers are amazing - over 1cm thick! The craftsmanship required to create such fine foam and layers is truly extraordinary. The tea used is called "Okumidori," a single variety of matcha without any blending. Both the Matcha Anmitsu and the Matcha Ice Daifuku contain a rich matcha ice cream, with berries and yuzu adding a delicious accent to the Anmitsu. The café has only 4 counter seats, so I recommend making a reservation. The staff are extremely knowledgeable about tea and seem to have come to Kyoto specifically for their work with tea. They can teach you a lot, and their knowledge and skills are top-notch. Be sure to try the tea made by these exceptional staff members!

I visited this place after seeing it often on Instagram. You can enjoy the Kyoto atmosphere in the charming courtyard. The daifuku with large strawberries is very voluminous. It seems they have tie-ups for Instagram posts, so there were people taking pictures and it was a bit distracting.

■A shop that collaborates with tea farmers from Wazuka Town, the largest producer of Uji tea, and focuses on "single-origin tea". You can enjoy drinks and sweets such as matcha and hojicha, as well as financiers.■Order (including tax)✔Rich Matcha Dorayaki 360 yenA popular dorayaki from the shop "Dorayaki Inome" that uses matcha. The dorayaki from "Dorayaki Inome" is very delicious, and I liked it so much that I lined up to buy it during New Year's. I was very curious to hear that they had resumed service. The dorayaki skin and matcha buttercream use single varieties of "Okumidori" and "Yabukita", with a deep matcha aroma and a creamy buttercream, complementing the red bean paste perfectly. The dorayaki dough is made with an incredible attention to detail, with different baking methods used for the outside and inside. It's a dorayaki where matcha takes the spotlight.✔Single-Origin Matcha Latte 590 yenFeaturing the rich flavor of "Yabukita" matcha, which goes well with milk.■Only counter seats are available inside the shop, where you can enjoy matcha while chatting with the staff.

Visited before 2 p.m. on Saturday. There was one customer ahead of me. I placed my order and paid, then sat on a bench in the courtyard. They only accept cash. Soon, I was told "sorry to keep you waiting" and received my tray, which I returned after finishing my meal. I went there for their rich matcha zenzai (600 yen). The mochi had a nice sear and was topped generously with homemade matcha red bean paste. The matcha red bean paste was amazingly delicious! It is made with Nakamura Seianjo's fine red bean paste blended with carefully selected matcha. And when you add the hot matcha on top... it's a zenzai that matcha lovers will adore. I also had a nice chat with the owner, who was a lovely person. There aren't many places where you can eat matcha zenzai, but they plan to sell this rich matcha zenzai until the end of February. If you love intense matcha flavors, be sure to visit this place.

I had a delicious monaka that combines sweetness and bitterness.

I ordered matcha anmitsu and matcha float. The anmitsu was filled with matcha ice cream, matcha jelly, and matcha paste, creating a perfect matcha experience with just the right amount of sweetness. The matcha float was also great, with a rich matcha flavor combined with milk. This is a place where you can truly enjoy matcha.
