Uji Matcha Ice Monaka from Otanien Tea Shop

Uji Matcha Ice Cream Monaka: 170 yen per piece The second-generation owner started selling these monaka about 20 years ago. The monaka is made in the shape of a tea urn and is filled with ice cream made from high-grade matcha green tea. A cup of ice cream is also available.

Enjoy high-quality matcha at the Uji tea specialty store [Otanien Chaho] near Tofukuji Temple

Not far from Tofukuji Temple and facing Higashioji Street, a good location for autumn foliage viewing. For 95 years since its establishment, this specialty store has sold Uji tea purchased directly from the market at reasonable prices. The trust of long-time regulars is supported by the third-generation tea connoisseur, who holds a 5-dan tea judging certificate. The iced monaka also uses high-grade matcha green tea, which was selected for its balance with the milkiness of the tea.

Otanien Tea Shop

In one corner of the store, where many tea leaves are lined up, you can enjoy a gorgeous matcha parfait or matcha soft serve ice cream. Starting this fall, the fourth generation will be running a Uji matcha kitchen car, selling matcha-mitarashi dumplings, roasted tea, and other items at various locations in Kyoto.
