We are proud of our matcha sweets that have been loved for 40 years! Hyakumanben tea store [Takemura Gyokusuien]
When you break open the Ujikin Ice Cream Monaka, you will be surprised at the tightly packed green tea ice cream. One bite and you will be surprised again by the rich yet refreshing aftertaste with just the right amount of bitterness. Kyoko Takemura, the owner of the store, says, "We use matcha green tea for osu, not matcha green tea for processing. Kyoko's father created this product 40 years ago by trial and error to make it as thick and refreshing as the sweetness of ice cream. Since then, it has become a popular signature item.
The Uji green tea soft serve ice cream is topped with Uji green tea to give it an aromatic flavor that can only be enjoyed at a tea store. In addition to sweets, the shop sells a wide variety of tea leaves, so be sure to enjoy drinking tea as well.
