Celebrate the Festive Season with Gion Tsujiri

This winter, as the holiday spirit fills the air, Gion Tsujiri, a renowned tea company founded in 1860 in Kyoto's Gion district, invites visitors to experience a delightful array of seasonal matcha offerings at their Tokyo Skytree Town location. Beginning November 1, they will unveil new menu items designed to celebrate Christmas while honoring traditional flavors.

Special Christmas Menu and New Matcha Selections

Among the highly anticipated releases is the 'Christmas Tree Soft,' a limited-edition dessert that promises to enchant guests. This delightful treat creatively mimics a Christmas tree, featuring the popular 'Tsujiri Tree Soft' adorned with festive candy ornaments. The rich matcha soft serve is enhanced with homemade strawberry jam, hojicha chocolate crunch, and crispy cookies known as 'Porukokon'. Topped with star-shaped chocolate, this dessert presents a nostalgic holiday vibe that combines the unique sweetness and bitterness of matcha with the tangy notes of the strawberry jam, creating an endless array of textures and flavors that cater to adult palates.

To complement the festive vibe, Gion Tsujiri has introduced 'Ippuku Matcha,' a new addition that elevates the traditional matcha experience. Crafted to order right before your eyes, the matcha is prepared using a bamboo whisk, showcasing both the meticulous art of tea-making and the rich aroma and flavor that only fresh matcha can provide. Guests can savor each cup, enjoying the nuanced tastes that Gion Tsujiri has perfected over the years.

A Cozy Atmosphere to Enjoy Matcha

The restaurant has also been redesigned to enhance the experience, providing a serene space where patrons can enjoy their matcha while taking in the stunning night views from the Skytree.
