Hello to everyone in Japan and all humanity around the world. Today, I’d like to introduce my recommended shop in Kyoto.

Here it is.

Exterior view of Ito Kyuemon

Does everybody know this shop? It is called Ito Hisaemon located in Gion Shijo and offers Kyoto Uji tea and transmits new values of the tea while cherishing traditions being inherited from in Edo era.

As the shop being such, it handles mainly various Matcha products. And to my surprise, there were a product called Uji Matcha curry there. I was surprised with this. I wonder what taste it has.

Else, for example, there are like this.

Oh yes, and there is something else unusual that I would like to introduce.
It is this one.

Matcha Puffa Ice Cream Bar Strawberry

Matcha Puffait Ice Cream Bar – Strawberry (680 yen)

How about this ice cream bar? It is beautiful, isn’t it? The ice cream is reminiscent of feather board, with oversized strawberries and matcha ice cream spread on top. This is probably the first of its kind that can only be experienced here.

There are various kinds of these ice cream bars.

It’s one of the best on a hot day. Please try one.

In addition to these, the second floor is a café space where you can enjoy match soba noodles and matcha sweets.
