TREEE'S KYOTO is a botanical matcha green tea sweets brand created by patissier SIN, who is also a Sommelier Excellence, the highest level of wine qualification. Under the concept of "Enjoy the Green," TREEE'S KYOTO has developed a number of matcha sweets with stunning visuals and high originality, which have become a hot topic on social networking services. The authentic matcha sweets, which are made by pairing rare organic Uji matcha from Kyoto Prefecture with carefully selected sub-materials from the perspective of a sommelier of excellence, break out of the conventional boundaries of matcha sweets and offer exquisite harmony, a broadening of taste, deep lingering flavors, and refined taste that resonates with all the five senses.

Mr. SIN's specialty is chocolate. He used an abundance of organic Uji matcha from Kyoto Prefecture, which he carefully selected based on his knowledge as a sommelier, to create the Oonocha Truffle Chocolate in pursuit of "the pure taste of high-quality matcha. The deep flavor is created with only the simplest ingredients: organic Uji matcha, couverture chocolate, and fresh cream, without adding anything extra. ［The chocolate truffles embody TREEE'S KYOTO's goal of "Simple is Best." They are rich in flavor and rich in density, yet have a clear, elegant taste that is free of any unpleasant taste, and melt in your mouth smoothly and blissfully.

Our first encounter with TREEE'S KYOTO was when Leaf Publications began to carry TREEE'S KYOTO's sweets on its Kyoto-ordered gourmet website "Leaf KYOTO mall". The editorial staff and buyers fell in love with the sophisticated design and authentic taste that brought out the best of matcha, and asked SIN to collaborate with them. ［The collaboration package project was realized because of the connection between botanicals and leaves, which is one of the concepts of TREEE'S KYOTO.

The packaging for this Leaf Edition is an original designed by Leaf Publications employees themselves. Leaf Publications, publisher of the Kyoto/Shiga town information magazine "Leaf," has been introducing the best things to do in Kyoto and Shiga from a local perspective, including information on new stores, events, city tours, culture and traditions, lodgings, and more, centered on the web media "Leaf KYOTO" in addition to the magazine. Leaf, which has been building relationships with restaurants and eateries in Kyoto and Shiga for 27 years and serving as a bridge between readers and restaurants through media such as magazines, will continue to provide people with happy and good products through this collaboration. The design of the new issue is a reflection of Leaf's desire to continue to be a company that brings happiness and good fortune to people and to connect them, as well as an expression of gratitude to everyone who has been involved in the company's activities.

［The design is composed of a leaf, reminiscent of TREEE'S KYOTO and leaf, and a flowing line of gold leaf, which evokes a sense of connection. The gold leaf lines are reminiscent of kintsugi, a traditional technique used to repair broken, chipped, or cracked ceramics. The gold leaf lines were inspired by kintsugi, a traditional technique used to repair cracks, chips, and cracks in ceramics. We hope that the box will be something that people will want to keep with them for a long time after they eat the o-no-cha truffles, as a container for small items or letters. We recommend it as a gift for a loved one to whom you want to express your gratitude, or as a reward for yourself.
