Dive into Autumn with Gion Tsujiri's Exclusive Offerings
As the leaves turn and autumn arrives, Gion Tsujiri, established in 1860 in the heart of Kyoto, invites sweet lovers to indulge in a special range of rich matcha sweets.

Premium Sweets: Matcha and Chestnut Chocolat
One standout item is the online-exclusive "Rich Matcha and Chestnut Chocolate Premium".

With a perfected flavor balance, each bite offers a transition from a subtle bitterness to a delightful sweetness, capturing the very essence of autumn. The matcha used in the chocolate is delicately processed by skilled artisans who understand the intricacies of temperature and moisture, ensuring that the full potential of the matcha is realized. Available only through the official online shop, this premium dessert reflects the dedication and craftsmanship that Gion Tsujiri is known for.
