Hattendo, a renowned Japanese confectionery brand based in Mihara City, Hiroshima, is excited to announce the return of its highly acclaimed collaboration with Gion Tsujiri. Starting October 1, 2025, customers can once again savor the exquisite "Uji Hojicha Cream Pan" in a limited-edition original box at selected Hattendo stores across Japan.
This delicious creation, first introduced last year, is made with carefully selected Uji hojicha tea, which is renowned for its rich flavor and aromatic profile. The luxurious hojicha is blended into both the dough and the velvety cream filling, offering a delightful taste experience that pairs perfectly with Hattendo's signature cream pan. The collaboration has garnered fantastic feedback, prompting the company to bring it back for another season.
The original box, which can hold two cream pans, has also received praise for being an ideal gift or souvenir, making it a perfect choice during the fall season, as the weather turns cooler and gatherings become more frequent. The Uji Hojicha Cream Pan will be sold in limited quantities, so customers are encouraged to act quickly to enjoy this seasonal treat.

About Gion Tsujiri
With a history dating back to 1860, Gion Tsujiri hails from the historic Gion district in Kyoto. Founded by the first owner, Tsujiriemon, it began producing and selling Uji tea in Uji Village (now Uji City, Kyoto). The brand has continuously evolved to explore the best flavors of tea and established the "Saryo Tsujiri" tea room in 1978, focusing on creating high-quality matcha sweets. In October 2023, a new brand named "Buburu," specializing in various types of teas like gyokuro, sencha, and hojicha, was launched at Kyoto Station. This new venture aims to deliver joyful moments to tea lovers everywhere.
About Hattendo
